A member asked:
I wake up my tongue is clear, after l have a coffee it gets a light white coating. recently had thrush. is coating normal or the thrush hasn't gone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Further details need: Is the white coating only present after coffee? Thrush can commonly recur if you have risk factors such as use of steroid inhaler for asthma. However there are other conditions requiring further evaluation that can commonly mimic thrush. I would see a physician to get a physician and evaluate in person. Hope this helps!
