Have A Lap Band. Forgot Insulin. Used Vinegar And Peroxide. Ease Pain With Yellow Patches?

I have a Lap Band, and got what I think was a piece of ham stuck in the port last Thursday night. Spent All of Friday throwing up, got it out and all was good. Because I wasn t eating I forgot to take my insulin so my Blood Sugar went way up. Because it was high I ended up with a very dry mouth. Now I have two quarter sized yellow patches on the back of the roof of my mouth. Rincing with Vinegar and Peroxide at different times has helped. Any idea of what else I can try to ease the pain from the yellow patches?

Hello,

It may be oral candidiasis. Very common fungal infection found in poorly controlled diabetics patients. Clotrimazole mouth paint and oral fluconazole tablet will help in controlling the infection.
