White Stringy Substance In Mouth Every Day After Using Non-alcohol Mouth Wash

I get white stringy substance in my mouth every day, especially first thing in the morning after using non-alcohol mouth wash. My breath is also very bad and lately I noticed it feels like I have a few sores on the inside of my cheeks. Is this anything to worry about?

This indicates an infection , which may be of long duration and needs proper diagnosis by clinical examination and investigations as suggested by an ENT Surgeon.
