Answers:
Sounds like thrush!. Antibiotics get rid of a lot of bacteria that we actually need!. This causes thrush or a yeast infection in some people!. I had the same thing happen to me!. Thrush was SO uncomfortable!. If I were you I'd call the prescribing physician and see if they can phone you in some Diflucan!. It's a one dose treatment for a yeast infection, but that is what thrush is!.!.!.except your mouth!. I know that probably grosses you out, but it's true!. If you take the Diflucan it will go away!.
Try to stay away from milk!.!.!.it makes your tongue all cakey!. Anything with high acidity as well (orange juice) might irritate it!. Go bland for a bit!. It will keep coming back until you treat it though!. I had to take two doses of Diflucan to get mine to go away!. Do you have any type of auto-immune disease!? (Lupus, RA, Crohn's!?) Are you pregnant!? These also open you up for a greater chance of getting thrush!. Anyway, good luck!.!.!.!.call them before it gets worse!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
