Oral refractory white flakes

White flakes that look like milk lumps sometimes appear on the mucous membranes or tongues on both sides of the baby's mouth and are not easy to remove. This is an oral mucosal infectious disease caused by a mold (Candida albicans), which is medically called thrush, and refractory thrush means that the disease is difficult to heal.
