Hello,
As per you concern taking high doses of antibiotics for a long time also increases the risk of oral thrush. and people with poorly fitting dentures are also more likely to get thrush. Please once have a visit to a dentist so that your daughter can be examined properly.
Wish your child good health
Thank you.
