hi
welcome to HCM
since you have got all 4 wisdom teeth extracted 5 days back and dentist had prescribe you medrol dose pack ie methylpredilisone and cleocin 150 an antibacterial. oral thrush is a symptom of candidiasis and if its scrapable then you have start with anti fungal drug. hope you have completed the course of medrol because without the consult of doctor,you should not stop that drug since it has withdrawal effect and may be oral thrush is due to that.
so, try to keep that area clean especially after food.
hope it will help you
thank you
