Insist to run culture of mouth swab. ..

Detailed Answer:
Hi back,

Thank you for providing the requested photos.

I have noted the ulcers and I still think to have mouth swab culture done to rule out fungal infection like candida.

Depending on the results, specific treatment will be prescribed.

All the best! Feel free to contact me again if you have further questions.
