White coating on tongue
I just noticed today that my tongue has a white coating that can be scraped off. The white coating is "grainy" and creamy but the surface of my tongue under the coating is not sore. I just finish my 5-day course of Metronidazole 500mg 3x a day. Is this a common side effect, or is this something that I need to worry about?
yes, metronidazole can cause oral thrush.
not, oral thrush does not cause swollen lymph nodes.
if you THINK you have oral thrush, ask your doctor for a candida culture (oral swab).

im positive it's fungal infection but my question was if it's a common side effect of metronidazole
