It sounds like a possible thrush infection, but very well could be something else.  I suggest you see your doctor for accurate diagnosis and possible script for an anitfungal.  I have successfully treated mild yeast infections with slightly hypertonic salt rinses - about 1/4 tsp salt in 6 oz of water.

Take care.
