tongue

Avatar n tn I have a white tongue, it is not outrageous like the google image pictures of thrush, but its the middle part of my tongue, and it goes all the way down the back of it, and it is white and fury. I can scrape it off, and there is no bleeding afterwards. It is just like this white fur is growing off my tongue. I have been really thirsty lately because in my dorm I don't drink a lot of water, so maybe dehydration is a reason, but I also am coughing up flem. Any idea what this is?
Avatar f tn wow..well I am on steriods from my asthma meds. I mean, I do brush but dont floss like I am suppose to. Plus I need 4 root canals smh. I got 2 root canals on my right side last thursday and now my face and neck are a lil swollen. I also have a canker like sore on my gum right above the root canals. I am suppose to be taking my antibotics but I been haven't. To sum it up in a nut shell. My tongue doesn't look like the orall thrush pictures.
Avatar f tn Google some pictures of oral thrush, sometimes babies have white looking tongues just from the milk, my sons tongue looked a little white but it wasn't thick and it went away on it's own. If it is thrush they will typically just give some oral nystatin and you squirt it into the mouth on each side of the tongue.
Avatar m tn since childhood...i have had atopic dermatitis as well as what seems to be thrush on my tongue... although i have researched thrush on the web and the pictures seem much worse than what i have..i have it along the sides of my tongue and sides of my cheeks...i do bite my tongue and cheeks alot though so i dont know if this has anything to do with it... I have only had oral sex performed on me a few times and that was very recently..
1519309 tn?1290956580 I was just concerned it may be thrush, but from what I can see from pictures thrush seems to be large patches not smaller dots, that bleed easily. If this is the case I feel much better, however if it could be Thrush I have more concerns. Also have grey patches on the far back of throat (where things head downward). Honestly the doctor I went to see didn't seemed to concerned, but also didn't have much of any explanation. Kinda got in and got out quickly.
Avatar n tn I researched a little bit, and noticed that a change in the tongue, can relate to oral thrush. I know oral thrush occurs for many different reasons, but one of the reasons my be from HIV. I looked at pictures of oral thrush, many of which do not look like mine. I wanted to know if people looking at this picture who have perhaps had oral thrush had a tongue that looked the same or if the picture is just kind of normal. I am going to the doctor on wednesday for an appointment.
Avatar n tn I have a question about thrush. From the pictures I have looked at I am not certain that I am experiencing thrush symptoms but wanted your advice. I am getting white spots on my inner cheeks. Sometimes they are easy to wipe off. Other times it takes a bit of effort with my fingernail. When the white stuff comes out it has the consistency of mucous or a booger. Sometimes my cheeks look pink but I can rub my nail across it and I will get a bunch of this white mucous like substance on my finger.
Avatar n tn For about 3 months I've had a slightly white tongue, like a white/pale yellow coating. It's mainly towards the back of my tongue and it's not painful. It hasn't gotten worse at all, but hasn't really gotten that much better either. I've been to the doctor 2 times and the dentist once for other conditions and they've routinely checked my mouth and didn't say anything or act concerned, so it might only be really noticeable to me.
Avatar n tn They appear similar to the gunk that builds up on my tongue that I can brush off, but these ones remain and are slightly tender to touch. They look like larger white tastebuds, but appear similar to pictures of mild thrush cases. My questions: 1). I know you can't diagnose thrush without seeing the patient, but are my symptoms consistent with a thrush infection? 2).
Avatar m tn My white tongue is peristent and now i seem to have developed thrush I guess because even after taking antibiotics the white tongue is till there... also I have been diagnosed for Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D deficiency and feeling weekness. I'll be going for the test next week. Let's see.
Avatar m tn first off your tongue does not have thrush on it, go look at pictures of thrush. tongue is perfectly normal. second a 2 week test is not going to tell you anything but that you were neg 3 month before that test. thrush is rare to show up in seroconversion and if it did you would have some other symptoms. get a grip and stop looking at the tongue.
Avatar m tn I looked at pictures of thrush online and the online pictures seem to be far more severe than what my tongue looks like. My tongue looks like the taste buds are whitish all over my tongue, but the whiteness cannot be scaped off easily and does not look like cottage cheese, each of which I understand are hallmarks of thrush. No other possible HIV symptoms (e.g. no rash). I am sooooo terrified that I got HIV and passed it on to my wife (knock on wood both times).
Avatar n tn I had a homosexual incident in mid December. Long story short, I had some pre-*** on my tongue for about 10 seconds. I think I spit it all out but not sure. No ejaculation, no anal. In Mid January I noticed a dry white tongue... Sometimes a creamy coating with strange taste would be on it early in the mornings. This has continued to varying degree till today. I also have slight pain in my groin area...not sure if it's lymphs or testicals.
Avatar m tn I had a brief "dipping" experience with someone of unknown status, but claimed to be clean almost 10 weeks ago. I have had virtually no symptoms except for a white coated tongue, which may be thrush, but doesn't look as bad as most of the pictures I have seen since searching pictures online.
Avatar n tn Your internet sources are correct that thrush is seen in persons with HIV HOWEVER most cases of thrush occur in normal people. Furthermore, among persons with HIV,. thrush tends to occur late in the course of disease, after persons have been infected for years, not weeks. Antibiotics tend to increase the occurrence of thrush and having taken both biaxin and amoxicillin would put you at high risk for getting thrush.
Avatar m tn But my white tongue and back of throat are more of a discharge than thrush from looking at pictures and descriptions of thrush online. Also, my only really swollen lymph node is in my throat. Which I'm assuming is from my ongoing untreated throat infection? For the past like 4 and a half months, my tonsils and back of throat have been red, sore, and slightly blistered with one swollen lymph node in my neck and a white discharge from my throat which coats my tongue.
558551 tn?1216024050 I read time and time again on here how people think white on the tongue is oral thrush when there are SEVERAL other causes of a "white coating" on the tongue as well...
Avatar m tn Hi everyone, I've been extremely scared for the last 3 weeks. I'll provide all of the background details here in order to give the full picture. Around 6 months ago I had a throat infection. I had the infection for about a week... once it became strep throat (approximately two weeks later) I went to see a doctor. The doctor prescribed amoxycillin.
Avatar f tn My circumvallate papillae seem enlarged and my tongue is white with a coating, i decided to try brushing my tongue for the past few nights and rinsing my mouth with salt water. it just kind of gets rid of most of the coating but i think my tongue is still white underneath. and the texture seems to look weird too lately my tongue has had a yellow/white coating for maybe over 2 weeks now? its bothering me and i don't know what it is...
Avatar n tn Hi, for about 4 months now I have had a white coating on my tongue. It has at times been worse and sometimes better but consistently there. I am able to scrape off the "top layer" but some of the coating still remains. I use the tongue scraper twice a day but this top layer does come back. There is no pain associated with it although I did notice once that after scraping there was some blood. In the past 1 or 2 months there have appeared white spots on the sides of my tongue.
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 f tn Pictures wouldn't help - we know what thrush looked like. It can happen with HIV, but it is an extremely common condition and is usually associated with antibiotic use. It is in no way specific to HIV. In fact, HIV is the least common cause. It's not worth discussing symptoms, because they are never used to diagnose HIV. Your test is very promising and in all likelihood, is conclusive given the sensitivity of modern tests.
