A member asked:
Its only on my tongue?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Primary care doctor: One's primary care doctor can examine the tongue (primary care means pediatrics, family medicine, general practice, or internal medicine) and decide if it is due to overgrowth of oral candida yeast (thrush) or due to something else. We all have candida on our bodies and in our mouths, which is normal. However, during and after the use of antibiotics, candida overgrowth can happen.
