Hi, My query is about an oral yeast infection which is like a white coating on the back of my tongue , also the tip of my tongue is quiet painful with small bumps. My GP has given me Nystatin tablets and Daktarin oral gel which I have been using for 2 weeks with only a slight improvement, but the condition appears to be very stubborn. I also have developed a slimy feeling in my mouth causing me to spit out saliva that is slimy. I would value your opinion. Thank you. Kind Regards Maxine Inglis
Dear friend. Thanks for sharing your concern. You have developed oral candidiasis. That is fungal infection of candida Africans. Are you on steroids, or taking prolonged antibiotic? Xerostomia and poor oral hygiene conditions predispose to oral candidiasis. For this I would recommend, rxtab fluconazole 150 mg once daily.  Topical application of statin is also helpful. Take plenty of fluids, keep yourself HY Chat Doctor.  Maintain very good oral hygiene. I hope this helps.thanks.
