Hello, This is Chat Doctor. Thank you for posting your question to Chat Doctor. I agree with tour doctors, that the signs you have is oral thrush. It has typical signs how you describe it and usually comes after using an antibiotic. Generally it's not confirmed by labs when we decide to start treatment, but from signs and history we start with the treatment. If I was your caring doctor I would recommend to use fluconazole 100-200 mg orally once daily for 7-14 days, because it is the first line of treatment. Other advises I would give are to wash dentures in an antiseptic such as chlorhexidine and good oral hygiene such as tooth brushing, routine dentistry, and denture care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can help with something else. Take care
