How uncommon is this...

So I've been lucky enough to develop thrush in my mouth. I only thought the babies could get it but apparently I'm wrong.
I have a dr appt in the morning since I now have a fever.
Has any one even heard of adults getting it? Evil google says it can happen in pregnancy and is easier for O blood types to get also.

LOVELY!

    My mum got it frequently when she was having cancer treatment. Do you have white bits in your mouth? She was given some drops for it, but i can't remember what they were called. Your Dr will be able to give you something for it.

    I don't know about thrush specifically, but my immune system is clearly whacked right now. I'm in the midst of cold #6(!!) this pregnancy thanks to DD. Last time I had none. In any case, you're susceptible to a lot more than you normally would, so it's probably not that surprising. Fx you get better soon!

    I know someone who had it on their nipples from breastfeeding, also. Never heard of adults having it in their mouth. Just kids. Good luck at the drs.

    It's usually associated with a weakened immune system- HIV/AIDS patients, cancer patients, etc. I can happen to people without a compromised immune system, it's just not very common. Good luck!

    I had it multiple times when I was in 8th grade and had mono. It can happen when your immune system is compromised. It was as simple as swishing with some Mylanta several times a day to get rid of it. A friend of mine had it on her nipples while breastfeeding. She and baby passed it back and worth. It's basically a yeast infection in your mouth. Shouldnt be too hard to clear up.

    My mother has gotten it a couple of times. She has an autoimmune disorder so I'm thinking it's linked to that. She is also O-, so maybe there is something to that part of what Dr. Google said.

    I'm thinking the O- has something to do with it.

    My dad had it in his mouth. He does have a weakened immune system though... he's B- blood so IDK if that really has anything to do with it.

    I've had it before, I believe when I was on really heavy duty IV antibiotics. I was prescribed an anti fungal mouth wash and it cleared up quickly. Not sure what's safe in pregnancy, but I'm sure your doc could help you out. The mouthwash had a numbing agent in it too, which relieved the pain quickly. Good luck and feel better soon!

    Thanks ladies!! I've been pushing it at work with the hours (50 a week) so I'm sure my immune system is just hating me!

    Maybe it can be a good thing because now your baby will get the immunity to it and not every have it. I hope it's an easy painless fix for you.

    I thought I had it after I took some antibiotics. Had a dentist appt and he said it was not thrush. They gave me a tongue scrapper and it worked great! Hope u have an easy fix too!

    When I started my inhaler the doctor told me I could get it and needed to be sure I rinsed my mouth out after using it. But before that I hadn't hear of it.
