White Patch On Tongue, Taking Corticosteroids For My Asthma
Hi, I have this white patch on my tongue and I m sure it s not candida nor stomach problems, I should mention that I ve been taking corticosteroids for my asthma for almost 12 years and I have this white coat on my tongue since I can remember. I also have extremely fissured tongue. I brush my tongue and teeth 2-3 times per day so I don t think I have higenic problems.... please help (I miconazole and probiotics for a long time to treat my problem but they never did, and this white coat is only on my tongue and it increases and decreases in size a little bit but it never fades from the root

hi, you may be having candida infections, you are denying it. it can be confirmed by KOH mount. you can use antifungal oral paint. after that make sure to mouth rinse after taking inhalation. take multivitamins.
