Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,
This could be a rare side effect of dexamethosone.
If the medications is not suiting you can get it changed.
Get the infection in your mouth treated.
At home take lukewarm slaine and antiseptic mouthwash rinses and you will be fine.
Also take multivitamin suplements.

Take care!
