Question by bunnybob21: can having a vaginal yeast infection cause oral thrush?
I just got over a vaginal yeast infection last week, after taking diflucan, as prescribed by my doctor. It is gone, but now I have formed this thick white coating on my tongue that looks like thrush. Could having a yeast infection recently caused my mouth to now be infected with yeast? Is it possible that there is still yeast present in my body?
