Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

Since the white lumps exists even after administration of nystatin,the lump can be of aphthous ulcer type.

Avoid spicy foods,tobacco chewing.

Usually corticosteroids has to be administered in such condition.

Meanwhile,maintain oral hygiene well.

Floss your tongue daily.

Use chlorhexidine mouthrinses to gargle.

Vitamin becosules as well as iron supplements has to be administered.

Take fluids as well as nutritious diet.

Hope this helps.
