Hello ma'am and welcome.

Thrush is a possibility but I somehow feel the cause could be different, but then again this is only an assumption. I would recommend a urine analysis and a swab sample sent to the laboratory for examination which should confirm the causative agent and help us with accurate initiation of treatment.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
