By the description it sounds like you have a fungal infection in your mouth, called Thrush.

Make an appointment to see your doctor who will be able to identify and confirm whether this is Thrush.  If it is you will be give a prescription for an oral thrush medication.  You can purchase Daktarin oral gel from the pharmacy.

Best wishes.
