Treated For Thrush. Roughness In Roof Of Mouth, No Pain Or Discomfort

A few weeks ago I was treated for thrush that was brought on by another antibiotic. Now for the last week or so, I can feel with my tongue that the roof of my mouth feels very rough, almost the texture of sandpaper minus the dryness. Any answers. There is no pain or discomfort, although it feels as if the area is getting bigger & spreading.

Dear friend.

Thanks for sharing your concern.

Please mention, if the roughness is felt in the anterior (front)palate or posterior(back or hind)palate.

Palatal (roof of mouth) roughness could be due to minor salivary gland infection,petechiae, Pharyngitis,allergy to particular food stuff,any tooth infection draining there,and also due to some habits like habitual smoking etc.

In that case you must keep a close watch on the lesion,if it progresses further then it requires clinical evaluation,else it should recover on its own.

meanwhile do antiseptic mouth rinsing,and warm saline rinses.take Vitamin B complex for 15 days.

Hope it helps.

Thanks.

Take care.
