What causes oral thrush?
Thrush is caused by an overgrowth of the candida fungus which is normally present in small amounts in your mouth, digestive tract, and skin, and kept in balance by other bacteria in the body. However, certain illnesses or medications such as corticosteroids or antibiotics can disrupt the balance, leading to an overgrowth of the fungus and causing thrush.
How does Daktarin Oral Gel help treat oral thrush?
Miconazole, the active ingredient in Daktarin, treats oral thrush by killing the candida fungus which causes the infection, easing symptoms such as redness, soreness, and discomfort in the mouth.
What does Daktarin Oral Gel taste like?
