Candida overgrowth in the mouth is a common condition known as oral thrush, which can cause white or yellowish patches on the tongue and other areas of the mouth. The condition is usually harmless but can be uncomfortable and cause bad breath. Maintaining good oral hygiene, including brushing your teeth twice a day, using mouthwash, and cleaning your tongue regularly, can help manage oral thrush. In addition to good oral hygiene practices, antifungal medications are typically used to treat oral thrush. Topical treatments such as nystatin oral suspension or clotrimazole lozenges are often prescribed for mild cases, while systemic medications such as fluconazole may be needed for more severe cases or for those with compromised immune systems. However, it is important to note that self-treatment for oral thrush with medication is not recommended without first consulting with a healthcare provider. If you have any further questions or concerns, I am available to schedule a consultation and discuss your symptoms in more detail.
