I also have this problem along with bad sinus swelling and white stuff on my toungue and a vaginal yeast infection. I've had the cream, oral nystatin and diflucan and none helped at all! I'm also ver gassy bloated and constipated all the tim and tired. Dloes is sound like systematic candida?? My doctors think I'm nuts!
Hi, welcome to the forum, you need a detailed evaluation. First thing need to be ruled out is oropharyngeal candidiasis or thrush. Candidiasis, it can present in many ways (white plaque, erythematous and beefy appearance).
Candida is yeast which is responsible for this. But this should be confirmed by KOH preparation and microscopy which will show the candidial growth. This usually occurs in immunocompromised condition like diabetes, steroid therapy or HIV.
Nystatin suspension, nystatin troche or clotrimazole troche are the topical preparations against prescription, which is quite effective and safe to treat candida. Other possibility can be abnormal mucosal growth, which can present as ulcerative lesion but we will take it as unlikely cause. I suggest you to consult a physician for systematic evaluation and confirmation of the diagnosis. Take care and regards.
