What Causes Numbness In The Tongue And Mouth Ulcers?

3 months ago I was treated for an oral yeast infection after taking antibiotics. I took a pill for 7 days and on the 7th day I finally didn t have any ulcers or pain in my mouth. A few days later it started coming back. I then was put on a liquid medication that didn t do anything. I was very frustrated and different people told me I should take sovereign silver. I sprayed it in my mouth 3 times a day for weeks. I finally got tired of putting up with the symptoms and called my doctor again. He put me on the pill form again for 10 days. It did nothing. I still have a feeling of a film in my mouth, my tongue is numbish, it s whitish with red spots on the back, food doesn t taste right, and when I eat salty foods I get ulcers in my mouth. The ulcers haven t been as bad the last month. I had called my doctor and told him it never went away and he recommended an oral surgeon. Do you have any idea what s wrong?
