What Causes Oral Thrush?

Hi, I have had an issue in my mouth where my tongue looks like it has blisters on the back of it, it hurts my mouth gets really dry and there is a white substance on my tongue. I can scrape it off with a tongue scraper I use every day. Ice seems to help for a little while then it gets irritated again. Any Idea what this could be I plan to see a Doctor soon, but until my appointment I m wondering what it is and if I should be keeping away from certain foods.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of oral thrush which seems to be due to fungal infection which remains persistent and leading to formation of thick white layer in oral cavity and its surfaces.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to visit oral pathologist once if symptoms keeps on persisting and start treatment after prescription. Go for biopsy of lesions if symptoms keeps on persisting. Avoid sharp, hot and spicy foods. Take Amphotericin B and maintain complete oral hygiene. Avoid stress and take Probiotics like Yoghurt in diet.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Harry Maheshwari
