Everyone is different, it depends on how healthy you are to fight off the fungal infection. However, it is best to get it treated to know definitively that it will be treated
This varies from person to person. Usually after one week it should be significantly smaller or gone.
Your body has the best defensive mechanisms to deal with disease, but it does not mean you should not seek treatment
It could last for weeks without treatment. Get it treated with a simple mouthwash solution.
Not getting treatment can lead to more serious conditions.There are over-the-counter medications that can be recommended at your local pharmacy. If that medication doesn’t work, you need to seek professional help.
