Hello
Welcome to HCM
Thrush is fungal infection caused by candida. For that you should start with anti fungal dose.
For red gums and dry mouth. Go for good scaling and drink lots and lots of water. Keep your mouth moist either by eating chew gums. For gums you can use good gum paint 3 to 4 times a day.
Weather it is otherthan thrush can only be diagnose depending upon symptoms.
Thank you
