Hello I have had candidiasis on my tongue the passed four years, I have to scrape it off my tongue everyday it is so thick, any doctor I have went to has given me drops for my tongue or other treatment that doesnt get rid of it. I feel it is the cause of my ongoing tonsillitis what should I do?
Hi. Thanks for the query. Oral Thrush can occur due to causes like antibiotic intake, oral or nasal steroids, Chat Doctor. . It can also cause Infection and inflammation of the tonsils leading to Tonsillitis and sore throat. So first you need to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and the cause of Thrush should be ruled out. Treatment of underlying cause can help in resolving Thrush. For now start using antifungal medication like Statin mouthwash, Clotrimazole lozenges and oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole. Do warm saline gargles. Hope this helps. Regards.
