Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Oral Thrush can occur due to a number of causes like dry mouth, long term intake of steroids [oral and inhalers], hormonal imbalance etc..

So my suggestion is to consult an Oral Pathologist first and get evaluated so that the underlying cause is ruled out..

You can be advised a course of antifungal medications like Nystatin Mouthwash, Clotrimazole lozenges and oral medicines like Fluconazole..

In case if still does not improve then medicines to treat resistance cases like Amphotericin B can be advised.
Also clean your tongue regularly with tongue scraper..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
