Tongue Thrush
My friend believes he has ORAL THRUSH we need help.?
So hes had for a week and has gone to the hospital. He was tested negative for strep, but when he brought up oral thrush to the doctor the doctor took a look and said he doesn't THINK it's oral thrush although my friend clearly shows signs of it: cream color patches with red spots and bumps underneath that bleed when I scrape them, burning sensation around mouth throat and tongue. The only remedy the doctor told him was to drink fluids. hes been doing that and its not helping. My friend can't eat without feeling pain and he is already ill from another life threatening condition. He hasn't eaten in days. Does n e one have any advice that could help him with dealing with this? I'm really worried.

- It would be very unusual for an adult to have oral thrush, unless he is immunosuppressed (like with AIDS). It's more likely a severe viral infection, whichh will improve within a few days. Keep up with the fluids. Sorry.
