What Causes Rubbery White Pieces Coming From Mouth And Swollen Inner Cheek?
I started having these rubbery white pieces coming out of my mouth 2 months ago which then turned into swelling in my inner left cheek and formed to a big white looking womb on my cheek as well as white spots on my toung and back of my throat.
The doctors took a blood test which came out to be on the borderline of the mumps and said I have a viral virus which they do not know what it is.
No one has seen this before.
And I still have small stretchy white chunks coming out of my toung when I swallow and push my toung out really hard.
Can anyone help, does anyone know what this can be or has come across this before?

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
The type of rubbery white pieces you are mentioning, it looks that you are developing candidiasis in your mouth as this is a white lesion inside mouth which can be scrapped of.
And this candidiasis has developed because you are having viral infection of your salivary gland (parotid) which is situated in front of your ear.
As viral infection of this gland leads to decrease salivation and increase in candidiasis.
So you have to visit your dentist get started with antifungal drugs.
Hope it will help you.
