A member asked:

Could this not be thrush? problems w/ tongue/mouth for some time(white, bleeding, dry, few constant large bumps) recently tested and treated for vaginal yeast infection; mouth problems stay/worsened after medication metronidazole and fluconazone

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely: Thrush would get better after the meds you mention not worse. The first thing that comes to mind is a vitamin B12 deficiency with these tongue changes. You need to have some testing done.
