Is candida harmless in children

Candida is a type of yeast that is normally present in small amounts in the human body, including in children. In healthy children, it is generally harmless and can be a part of the normal microbiome. However, if the balance is disrupted, it can lead to infections like oral thrush or diaper rash. It's important to monitor for symptoms and consult a healthcare provider if there are concerns about overgrowth or infection.
