I have recently been diagnosed with sever Diverticulitis. I was admitted to the hospital and was giving a series of iv anitoboitics for two days. Then i was discharged with two oral antibiotics and have finished them for about two days now. Today I wake up with a super dry mouth and my tongues has grooves and all over it an it and is very sore. Do you think this could be Thrush?
Hello, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. If I am your doctor I suggest you that Oral Thrush or Candida infection looks white it be never grooved. Secondly it won't appear in the short therapy of antibiotics for period of four days only. Even if you are suspecting thrush you have to do Grams Staining to confirm it. I will be happy to answer your further concerned can contact me. Chat Doctor. Infectious disease specialist. Thank you.
