Seek more treatment: If the thrush isn't going away, you should seek more treatment. Perhaps there is an underlying condition or illness that is creating an opportunity for the fungal infection.

Bf=Boyfriend?: Oral thrush...There are many types of medications to use. Sometimes there is an underlying sensitivity to candida (the yeast that causes thrush.) thrush can casue burning ANS stinging of the tongue and may affect the throat and back of the tongue too. Oral sex may be a factor as well.
