  1. thrush

    Thrush is a common medical term referring to an infection caused by a type of fungus or yeast called Candida. This infection often affects the mouth or the throat but can also affect other parts of the body such as the vagina, skin, or digestive tract. In healthy individuals, it is usually not serious, but may cause discomfort. Characteristics of this infection include a white or yellowish coating or patches, usually on the tongue or inner cheeks. It can cause symptoms like soreness, difficulty swallowing, or a persistent cottony feeling in the mouth. In a different context, thrush is also a name for a group of small to medium-sized songbirds known for their melodious song.
