Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this swollen lips and tongue as well as the white spots that you have reported. Swollen lips and tongues are not typical of thru. Also, white spots are not the typical presentation of thrush because it rather presents with a white coated tongue. To make the exact difference and diagnosis, I will like to review an image. For this, I’ll suggest that you upload and image for review.

I hope to hear from you and promise to respond promptly. Until next, I wish you well.
