thanks for the help its appreciated. I will definietly get rechecked but I hope oral thrush is not the case because I'm sure that means I have something else such as herpes which. I'll just say a little prayer and hope for the best, but i'll keep you updated.
Hello,
Unfortunately,without clinical examination it is very difficult to make a diagnosis.But your symptoms are suggestive of oral thrush or candidiasis. Oral infections by Candida species usually appear as thick white or cream-coloured deposits on mucosal membranes.
In your case,dry mouth or decreased saliva can be the cause of your white coating by candida.Have you verified what is the cause of your dry mouth?Allergies don’t seem to be related to this white coating.
For confirmation,microscopic examination and culture of the scrapings is usually done.Even a small sample is sufficient to test for candida but false negative results are possible when the scrapings have been scrapped off or some hot liquids taken before the test.
I sincerely advise you to consult a physician and get it rechecked.Moreover other conditions cauising such symptoms like leukoplakia(a white lesion that can't be removed simply by rubbing the mucosal surface—unlike candidiasis) and lichen planus(painful white, erosive sores on the gums, tongue and throughout the mouth.) have to be ruled out.
Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing.
