Oral fungal infections may progress to the bronchial tubes and lungs causing cough.
1. Oral fungal infection, also known as fungal infectious stomatitis, refers to the infection of the oral cavity by fungi such as Candida under certain pathogenic conditions, causing an inflammatory reaction. It is characterized by redness, swelling and pain of the oral mucosa, white patches on the surface of the tongue, and even fusion into a piece, forming a white pseudomembrane. It is usually seen in infants, young children, the elderly and immunodeficient people who are weak and sickly and have low resistance.
2. When the oral fungal infection is not effectively controlled and the fungal infection progresses further, gradually invading the bronchial tubes and lungs and causing a certain degree of irritation to the respiratory system, respiratory discomforts such as coughing and coughing up sputum caused by the fungal infection will occur. When an oral fungal infection occurs, it is important to seek medical attention in a timely manner and actively treat it under the guidance of a doctor to prevent further progression of the disease.
