Hello,

You have symptoms of oral thrush. It is actually a fungal infection which leads to the formation of a thick white layer in the oral cavity, and its surfaces and if remains constant, it starts giving white layers. I would suggest you rinse the oral cavity properly two times a day with hydrogen peroxide mouth wash.

You should visit oral pathologist once if symptoms keep on persisting, and start treatment after prescription. Go for biopsy of lesions if symptoms keep on persisting. Avoid sharp, hot and spicy foods. Take Amphotericin B and maintain complete oral hygiene. Avoid stress and take probiotics like yogurt in the diet.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
