Suggest Remedy For Oral Thrush

Hi there I have had four weeks of antibiotics, four kinds, to treat what began as a chest infection and became pneumonia and a partially collapsed lobe of my left lung. Now I have a tender mouth, some tiny painful spots on the tip and sides of my tongue and reddening of my inner lips. Is this oral thrush?

Hi...
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns...

As per your complain the tender mouth, small spots in mouth and reddning of inner lips seems to be due to Apthous Stomatitis leading to Apthous Ulcers and it can be a side effect of medicines..
Other causes can be stress, acid reflux, deficiencies of Iron and Vitamin B12 etc..
You should consult your treating physician and get evaluated and reducing the doses of antibiotics can help in relieving the symptoms..
As of now you can take supportive treatment like gargling with numbing mouthwash containing Lignocaine, doing warm saline gargles, gargle with 1:1 solution of benadryl and milk of magnesia, suck ice and drink plenty of cool water..
Chew sugar free chewing gum to stimulate saliva flow..
Avoid hot and spicy food..
Take plenty of fluids..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
