Black Tongue, Bad Taste, Dry Mouth. Diagnosed As Fungal Infection Of The Mouth. Prescribed Medicines. What Could Be The Cause?
My doctor said I have a fungal infection of the mouth as my tongue gets black,I have a bad taste in my mouth and dry mouth. I am taking and finishing today a Nystatin Suspension for this. I am wondering what might have caused this problem as I hopefully don't want to get it again. I have read that old is one factor and I am old,93 but in general I am quite healthy. E-mail is maryjfulop @ WWW.WWWW.WW Thanks for anything you might know as to the cause of my problem.

Following are predisposing factors for oral fungal infection 1. Bad oral hygeine 2. Dry oral mucosa due to decreased intake of fluids. 3 . Immunosuppression- Diabetes Mellitus 4. Ill fitting dentures
