Is your tongue discolored?
If the discolored areas of your tongue are white or creamy in colour and can easily be scraped off then you probably have thrush or an oral yeast infection. This can be caused by being run down or by taking antibiotics or asthma inhalers. Badly fitted dentures can also cause oral or mouth thrush infections. You should see your doctor or dentist for advice.
Sometimes oral thrush may spread to the roof of your mouth, your gums, tonsils or the back of your throat. Look for little white spots.
Bear in mind that oral candida or oral thrush can also be a manifestation of a serious underlying immune deficency state. If in doubt then you should seek early advice from a doctor.
