Oral thrush, also known as oral candidiasis, is a fungal infection caused by an overgrowth of the yeast Candida albicans in the mouth. It leads to the development of white lesions on the lining of the mouth and throat. Common symptoms include soreness and difficulty swallowing. If you suspect you have oral thrush, it’s best to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment. 😊
My oncologist had me take Acyclovir during my treatments,and prescribed an oral rinse that specifically addresses Thrush as it occurred. I had to lightly brush my tongue and rinse with Therabreth as a preventative always keeping my tongue free of buildups.

I sometimes rinse with warm salted water. Chlorhexadine mouthwash for when it’s really bad

I’m always getting sores on my tongue. If the immune system is not working, it’s going to happen.💕

for me I have super dry tongue when I wake up for 3days after my Valcade injection which I take for maintenance. I mean dry like I can’t swallow good for10 minutes after I drink something

My tongue hurts constantly , so bad I can hardly chew food and swallow, but I do. No one seems to think it is thrush. I also get these long white lesions on the sides of my tongue and inside my cheeks that swell up and come and go. I see my regular dentist and an oral surgeon that specializes with cancer. I have every rinse on the market! They do help temporarily.
