Avatar f tn After that I noticed a white film in my mouth along with a soreness on my tongue. I suspected thrush so the doctor perscribed Nystatin. I started the nystatin but to be honest I am not a good medicine taker and therefore did not take it successfully (5x/day). Since it continued I went to my dentist who gave me a oral cancer check with visalite and they found abnormal areas.
Avatar m tn Went to Dentist today that ordered a biopsy on white lesions ( which to me looks like a white film and patches on tongue) on cheeks and sides of tongue. The white film on tongue and cheeks does not slough off which the dentist said is better then having it scrape off and have redness underneath. About 2 months ago I performed oral sex on a male and I am also male. I believe I swallowed but know I did not do anything other then that.
Avatar m tn Would Thrush lesions stain or change color after eating something with color, red cinnamon candy or a slurpee? Coffee also stains my tongue yellowish brown. Does this sound like Thrush? I didn't swallow the Nystatin for the first few days, would this affect the treatment? If I rub glycerin on my tongue it turns pink then turns back to the original color a few minutes later.
Avatar f tn But, based on what I described about my tongue does it even sound like thrush? My friend stated her dad was a cancer patient he had thrush and that it wasn't thrush. When the smaller yellow stain showed up I went to ther RN at my job she stated it was not thrush. Then I went to the dentist and she said "NO". I will call on Monday to the dentist since the yellow seems to have spread.
2118271 tn?1337463104 Ever since I finished a round of Flagyl (due to C. Diff) I have had this white "thrush" going on on the very back of my tongue. Most of it scrapes off when I brush or use a tongue scraper, but after scraping my tongue still has a white coating on it, especially in the back of my tongue. I should note that before the C. Diff episode I was on a number of antibiotics from frequently picking up infections from the day care I used to work at.
Avatar f tn And ever since it’s been on the inside of my mouth. I have nothing on my tongue just these weird lesions that grow on the inside of my cheeks and both lips. They bloom randomly so sometimes I have more and sometimes less and that’s like a one week period so I don’t go longer periods with less, just a few days. I do believe I have some acid reflux. My mouth is almost always sour tasting. I’m not sick much otherwise so my immune system seems fine.
Avatar m tn The back of my tongue has bumps and what appears to be oral thrush. No pain or bleeding. Can you confirm this, and what should I do about it? What could be the cause? Thanks.
Avatar n tn thrush could cause white tongue but not lesions. i am dying to know more about the yellow bus though.
Avatar m tn ) If u are experiencing whitish, velvety lesions in the mouth and on the tongue and if underneath the whitish material, there is red tissue that bleeds easily, then u are suffering from thrush. To my knowledge it is not considered an std. It's caused by forms of a fungus called Candida. A small amount of this fungus lives in your mouth most of the time. It is usually kept in check by your immune system.
Avatar m tn Then i got a tingling sensation on my hard palate about 4 weeks later,the i have had all sorts of Ibs symptoms,have had treatment for oral thrush,my tongue is a pale white coating and also has a tingling sensation ,i have had all tests done from worry and all were negative ,i have an endoscopy in March ,but basically i am asking if anyone has experienced a constant burning tingling sensation in the mouth on the tongue
Avatar f tn I also had burning/ just weird sensations in my back, thighs, toes, and face. I then got lesions on my tongue! I went to a walk in clinic, was told it was thrush. I went to my family doctor, he said it wasn't thrush and could be herpes. He gave me Acyclovir for a week. It didn't help. Oh, I also had discharge in my eyes and my eye doctor said my ducts were blocked up and it could be an allergic reaction.
Avatar m tn Is the tongue just white all over or in patches? Patches I believe typically indicate some sort of yeast infection (I believe it's called thrush - appears as whitish, velvety lesions in the mouth and on the tongue. Underneath the whitish material, there is red tissue that may bleed easily. The lesions can slowly increase in number and size.) that will require further treatment. If you had Thrush, your doctor probably would have caught it I imagine.
Avatar m tn Thrush lesions can bleed when scraped off but this is non-specfic. If you have thrush, this does not mean you caught it from oral sex.
Avatar m tn As for herpes, if you had herpes, it would be expected that you would have mouth lesions as well as lesions within your mouth. Thrush is not an STI. My suspicion is that this is some other, community acquired viral infection, not HSV, HIV or other STI. I suspect that it will go away with symptomatic treatment and would not be concerned. I would not worry.
Avatar n tn I tend to believe when a doc sees a white tongue they just assume thrush and prescribe anti fungals without doing any actual real tests. A few of them actually wound up having a stomach bacterial infection. Thats what Im going to get checked for next.
Avatar f tn I know that symptoms don't neccessarily mean anything yet but I have been feeling positive until today. At the 3 week mark after unprotected vaginal sex with a high risk male who's partner is a sex worker in Mexico I began having bilateral red bumps on my ears, nausea, dizziness, sore throat, but I tested negative on RNA bDNA test at 22 days and negative on antibody tests and both 3 and 4 weeks.
Avatar m tn I even used some hydrogen peroxide to clean my tongue, which I think was a really bad idea and caused taste bud damage and made my tongue look more furry. I went for a thrush test and it came back negative. Does that mean my white tongue is not caused by candida? It's also geographic, a lot of cracks have been showing up recently. Are there any std's that can cause this?
Avatar n tn I have same problem, I brushed my tongue with Baken Soda tooth past and removed 95% of the white thrush. If you have mouth thrush always use baken soda tooth past.
Avatar m tn I've diagnosed with genital warts. My husband has no symptoms. I've read many postings from this site that oral warts are rare. My concern is that my husband has developed this white patch on his tongue towards the back of his tongue. I see pin size little while bump on it. The patch is about a size of a dime. We've been to our dentist and family doctors, but they weren't sure what it is. One thought it was a thrush. It's been going on for a year. No pain whatsoever.
Avatar f tn I had severe white tongue for a month or two but after using a tongue cleaner and so forth, my tongue is back to being normal. Is there a possibility that was thrush?
Avatar m tn It grew and spread to the other side of the tongue. It is always painless, unless picked at. The lesions present as flattened white wrinkly patches, that can be rubber off with a paper towel exposing a red base underneath, that sometimes bleeds. I am quite certain it is not thrush, as my mother is a pediatric nurse practitioner and assures me it couldn't be this. I have not been on any antibiotics for years and don't have a problem with being sick in general.
Avatar m tn I actually have developed Thrush. Exactly 3 weeks post exposure. I'm very scared. Never had any problems with my tongue before this. I don't know. This is ARS 101.
Avatar n tn I wonder if this could be indicative of tongue cancer? Would tongue cancer present this way (acutely, disappearing for hours at a time)? Any opinions on what this could be? By the way, last week I ate three entire cans of Salt and Vinegar chips during a three night span. Could there be a correlation? Thanks!
Avatar f tn He said it seemed more like a coated tongue now and I should use a tongue scraper to finish clearing up my tongue. I insisted on an sti panel including hsv igg 1/2. All test came back negative I know for some sti’s 16 days post exposure was not long enough to be conclusive but I was so anxious. I have a monogamous partner that I have been with for 13 years and this is the one and only time I had an inexcusable lapse in judgment.
Avatar m tn You are over reacting. You do not know that your white tongue it thrush. It certainly does not sound like it. Please read my original reply.
