What Causes Lump In Throat And Thrush On Tongue?

possibly, other to consider :virus, GERD
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I understand your concern.
1. I have gone through the photos you provided and can say as following :
- there is nothing worrisome found with your tongue appearance apart the a slight white coating
- thrush could be a possible cause to this especially if you have been using antibiotics recently or having a poor diet or poor oral hygiene. Keep good oral hygiene and run oral swab culture to determine thrush. If confirmed, applying miconazole gel locally for at least 7 days can be effective
- depending on the symptoms you are experiencing (apart feeling tired), GERD should be also another possible cause
2. You are saying to have a lump in your throat, but I did not notice that, only a slight inflammation possibly due to thrush, GERD or viral infection.
3. With regards to being alway tired, it does not necessarily mean that you have HIV.
If you :
- skip your meals
- have a poor diet
- lack of exercise
- stress
altogether can be possible causes.
Hope it was of help!

Detailed Answer:
Hi back,
If culture was negative, then, no candida. Furthermore, if HIV was negative, then, should not be worried.
My thought go for possible:
- problems with your teeth (fillings or bad teeth)
- GERD
- dehydration
Otherwise, I do not see any problem and you should not be worried.
All the best!
