See below: What you are describing sounds like Thrush (oral candida infection). If you have no risk factors (like AIDS) the treatment is Nystatin (OTC), swish and swallow 4 times daily for 2 weeks. If that doesn't work, you will need to see your physician for a prescription medicine to be taken orally.
