I had torus surgery on Thursday. I am a female age 58. It was all over my mouth. I have a high threshold for pain. It is very painful. I can't eat or talk. This white layer of ??? Has formed in some areas. What is that? Infection? I need an oral surgeon to answer my question,not a dentist and not a physician.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that the white layer formed inside your mouth seems to be Yeast infection known as Oral Candidiasis or Oral Thrush..
It can occur due to reduced resistance inside mouth post surgery or intake of antibiotics..

I would suggest you to consult your dentist and get evaluated and if Thrush is confirmed he can advise you to take anti fungal medication like Nystatin mouthwash and clotrimazole lozenges..
If it doesn't resolve in 2weeks Oral antifungal medicines like Fluconazole or Itraconazole can be advised..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
