∙ 11y agoThrush is a fungal infection, like a yeast infection. It is spread by coming in contact with the fungus and having your own body's immune system be low enough not to be able to fight the fungus off. Usually, people get thrush when they are sick, or when they've taken a lot of antibiotics or certain other medications (some of the steroid Asthma inhalers, for instance).
