Question : blisters and numb tounge. yeast infection?
Brief Answer:
Yeast doesn't typically cause blistering in mouth
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Blisters and numbness are not at all typical for oral thrush. A yeast infection in the mouth will cause white patches.
Your symptoms sound more like possible oral herpes (Herpes Simplex I). If there are blisters, please consider going to your doctor or an urgent care clinic where they can examine your mouth and prescribe an antiviral medicine if indicated.
I hope this information helps. Please let me know if I can provide further information or clarification.
