Brief Answer:
No, this is not normal.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

No this is not normal.
This is suggestive of lung infection.
And thrush is not causing lung infection directly.
But it can predispose lung infection due to poor oral hygiene.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and chest X-ray.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
