What Causes Thrush Covering On The Tongue?
I recently discovered a white, thrush type covering on my tongue. I am a 63 year old female, relatively healthy. Retired RN. I looked thrush up online, and I continue to be directed to HIV and lupus sites. Have not been on antibiotics in at least 6 months. Had a flu shot last week.

Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,
According to your clinical symptoms i suppose that you have developed a fungal infection of your tongue.
Dont worry antifungal medications are required.
I would suggest you to get an examination done by an Oral Surgeon.
Take multivitamin suplements.
Take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses.
Take care!
Dr Ammara.
