Thrush is a painful mouth infection, white patches can be caused due to dry oral condition which is caused by anxiety

white patches on the tongue are by no means necessarily thrush...

Does anyone think that dry mouth can lead to white patches on the tongue (thrush)? I know for instance that there is a link between dry mouth and frequent urination (like in diabetes). I have white patches on my tongue and wondering what can cause it apart from std. I know anxiety can cause a lot of things like urination AND dry mouth but a white patch seems too much.

I am too scared to go call their manager or go back for another test until 12 weeks,

They think I am crazy there, and look at me strangely. The three times I was there I was crying and acting hysterical. They think I am a crazy lady.

I also dont like how they try to tell you how to have safe sex etc. I know how to have safe sex, I was a victim of a man taking off a condom. I try to explain that to them and then they make me feel worse by telling me to know who I am sleeping with, well, I knew him, we were in a relationship. I want a rapid test, not safe sex counseling. I hate Public Health.
