The roof of my mouth is cover with tiny red pinpricks that are not sore. My tongue is slightly redder than usual. I have nystatin from my doctor, but having had a child with thrush, I do not think this is thrush at all. I really do not like to take medications unnecessarily. I had this same thing about 3-4 months ago. That is when I got the med, but the problem was already waning. I was out of town and had purchased some glyoxide that I had been using. I have COPD and use inhaled steroids. However, in 15 years of use these are my first problems. I am 75 years young.
