For a start, let's pay attention to the signs by which it is possible to calculate candidiasis of the oral cavity. Then we will understand the causes of the disease. After we find out how to cure it.

Candidiasis is a disease that can be caused by yeast-like fungi, more often of the genus Candida. The disease can manifest itself in different ways, the most common phenomenon is acute pseudomembranous candidosis (in another case, thrush). In infants, thrush of the oral cavity is simple, without causing severe discomfort. In adults, the disease is associated with other obscheomatic disorders.

Candidiasis affects the mucous cheek, palate, tongue and lips. The surface of the damaged organs becomes dry, acquires a snow-white scurf in the form of curdled milk (hence the 2nd title). With the course of the disease, this layer becomes denser, the damaged tissue swells and swells. Often, from a sick person, you can hear a complaint of burning sensation in the mouth, acute pain when eating.

What can cause oral candidiasis, the symptoms of which are not very pleasant for an adult?.

Failure in the functioning of the immune system of the human body can lead not only to the emergence of thrush, but also to a number of other, more severe and unsafe diseases, such as tuberculosis, sweet diabetes, hypothyroidism, gastrointestinal tract diseases (especially in case of insufficient acidity of the medium). The imbalance in immunity that has arisen leads to dilemmas with adrenals, metabolic disorders. By the way, candidiasis of the oral cavity does not occasionally become the first symptom of inconspicuous leaking sweet diabetes. Therefore, in acute forms of the disease, it is recommended to do a blood test that will help to identify the hidden forms of disease.

Because of active and often uncontrolled admission of people with drugs, candidiasis of the oral cavity was detected three times more often! A long reception of these pharmaceuticals destroys the microflora of the mouth, which allows at least some fungi and infections to be free to multiply. The same effect is exerted by excessive consumption of antimicrobials. In addition to candidiasis, drugs can give you dysbiosis of the intestinal tract, which will lead to vitamin deficiency.

If you were exposed to radiation, you often use alcohol, drugs, use oral contraceptives, then candidiasis of the oral cavity does not force you to wait for a long time.

In rare cases, infection can occur through external contact: a kiss with an unhealthy person, sexual contact, use of similar personal hygiene items or the same table devices. All this can lead to the occurrence of this infection in you.

If it so happened that oral candidiasis has already appeared, how to cure it?.

Cure candidiasis with general pharmaceutical products and local medicamental effects. With all this, great attention is paid to increasing the body's defense (increase immunity), sanitation of the oral cavity, in order to avoid unnecessary new bursts of infection. It is necessary to regulate and improve the diet.

To successfully heal from yeast-like Candida fungi, you need a thorough examination of the body, the healing of concomitant diseases that often trigger the onset of infection.

General treatment of candidiasis will be prescribed to you by specialists, because curing the disease without the help of others is unacceptable. As usual, doctors prescribe inward antifungal drugs. Because the antifungal agents are absorbed poorly, it is necessary to dissolve them slowly, putting under the tongue.

To adjust the microflora of the mouth, 2% solution of potassium iodide. Use it is usually 3 times a day for a tablespoon after a meal. After performing the healing procedures that repair the microflora, try not to injure the oral mucosa.
