What Does White Patch At Back Of Tongue And Lethargy Indicate?

Posted on Mon, 12 Oct 2015

Question: Is it normal to wake up and your crotch region is sweaty a little and my boxers are usually alittle damp to... I also have a white patch on the back of my tung i can get rid of. Ive tried using mouthwash and gargling but its not working. I need help. I also have a hard time getting up even if i have slept like 8-10 hours. I work third shift full time so idk if that would be the reason. There is also a smal bump around my throat. I have been checked for hiv and nothing ever came back. Am i okay? Ive never been with anyone tht has had it to my knowledge. Ive even asked if they did and they said they didnt.

Brief Answer:
Likely to be due to oral thrush

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day

Dear Sir

Thanks for providing the clinical photograph. The lesion is likely to be due to Leukoplakia more likely to be due to oral thrush(oral candidiasis). I hope you do not consume oral tobacco in any form.
Use of Nystatin (anti-fungal) mouth lozenges will be helpful.
If the lesion still persists then do consult Physician for further examination and assessment.

Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.

Take Care

Best Regards

Dear Sir

There is no cause for worry about sweating.
The things should be fine soon.
If there is no discolouration in groin area and no itching then there is no cause for concern.
