Is it possible to have a oral yeast infection?

Q: Let me explain the symptoms. It started a month ago when i had canker sores on my tongue. They disappeared. Now I have a white, yellow coating on my tongue that bleeds when I brush it. I also have what looks like 3 swollen salavia glands. they are hard but movable when i touch them. I can’t figure out what this is. I have had symptoms lingering for over a month. I have been to a doctor because I thought it was oral cancer, They told me it wasnt and gave me something called magic mouth wash. They still haven’t gone away. How can I cure this and should I be worried it is something more?

A: I read my book and it sounds like Oral Thrush. Heres what the book says: Oral thrush is an outbreak of the fungus Candida Albicans, one of the many microbes that are usually present in small numbers in your mouth. If your natural resistance to infection is low because of illness, or if a course of antibiotics has upset the natural balance among the microbes in your mouth, this fungus may multiply out of control. As it does so, it produces sore patches in your mouth. Sometimes it can cause similar sore areas to form in your throat as well. The patches are creamy-yellow and slightly raised. If they are rubbed off when you eat or as you brush your teeth, they leave a painful raw area. The fungus can also cause denture problems. Many people have oral thrush at some time in their lives. It is most pervalent in very young children and elderly people. The same fungus can infect a womans vagina and cause vaginal irritation and discharge. Treatment: Your doctor will examine you and may take a sample of a patch for lab tests or arrange for you to have blood tests to rule out anything harmful or serious. One possible cause is iron deficiency anemia. Meanwhile, the thrush may be treated with an antifungal agent, often taken as lozenges for seven to ten days. Oral thrush in itself is not serious and is quickly cleared up by this treatment, but it has a tendency to recur. I would buy some spinach and put it in your salad. ( iron) Or anything else you can think of that is high in iron. Just dont go over board. I would call or go back to the doc and tell him you think its oral thrush and get meds for that. Hope this helps.
