I have had what looks like leukoplakia on my tongue for more than a month. I visited my doctor. He diagnosed it as bacterial and gave me a course of antibiotics. But it hasn t cleared up. I took it despite being 2 months pregnant. But I am getting worried now because its still there, I have a heavy feeling on my chest and I am starting to experience hoarseness. Please advise. I am worried!
Hello, Thanks for consulting ChatDoctorRead your query, as you have white patch like lesion on tongue it is not necessary that is leukoplakia it can be bacterial or fungal infection, lichen plans or functional keratitis. Don't be worried so much as you are pregnant also don't take stress I will suggest you to consult good oral surgeon for examination of tongue and give your history of pregnancy to dentist and if he prescribed any antibiotic then discuss with him dosage and take it in proper prescribed dose don't take overdose of any medication. Now as you are taken antibiotic, and you are feeling uncomfortable in chest now you should consult your general immediately for examination of chest. Hope this will help you.
