What Causes White Patch On Tongue?
I ve had soreness on the bottom right side of my tongue for a couple days & yesterday noticed a white patch there, today the white areas have increased. I ve also noticed today a purple line along the gums of an inside molar (that touches the main white patch on tongue). I fell about two weeks ago & busted my lip/nose & my teeth were very sore but we re getting better until this started. Is this all related?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that the changes are related to the presence of oral candidiasis.
This causes a white patch on any area of the mouth. It may not be related to your trauma.
It would treated with oral antifungals. Examples are nystatin, diflucan, miconazole
These would require a prescription.
I hope this helps
