Hi.
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns...
As per your complain and presentation of symptoms it seems you are suffering from
ORAL THRUSH or
CANDIDIASIS which is a yeast infection caused by Candida Albicans fungus and can occur due to a a number of causes like intake of Medication like Steroids, antibiotics and Oral contraceptives, hormonal changes like in
menstruation, pregnancy and
menopause, other conditions like Dry mouth, immunocompromised conditions like
uncontrolled Diabetes, HIV, Cancer..
Denture wearers and Smokers also have high risk of developing Thrush..
Therefore you should consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and if any investigation of the lesion like microscopic examination of the scraping from tongue can be done if required although Thrush can be diagnosed clinically by its cheesy layer like appearance..
In case of Thrush antifungal treatment has to be taken for a period of atleat 14 days like Oral intake of
Fluconazole or
Itraconazole, Nystatin mouthwash, antifungal lozenges can relieve..
Add more of Probiotics to diet like Yoghurt and Garlic can help in clearing the infection..
Avoid using antimicrobial mouthwash..
Treatment of the underlying cause can help in faster resolution of infection..
Hope this information helps..
