Hello,
Thanks for consulting HCM
Read your querh as you are asking for oral thrush see oral thrush is fungal infection caused by candia bacteria . For this I will suggest you to consult oral surgeon for examination of oral cavity and confirmation of diagnosis .
Inmeantime do maintain proper oral hygiene , you can use candid gel for local application on effected area . Drink plenty of water . You can use chewing gums .
Hope this will help you
