Dear Dr., I am 35 years old, 28 weeks pregnant, and my Dr s P.A. told me I have a proliferation of taste buds. My tongue turned white about a week ago and I was scared it was thrush (I had been on an antibiotic). It also feels thick and rough on the surface. The P.A. said it was not thrush as it does not scrape off, is not cottage cheesy. She said maybe I should clean it better, but I brush it twice a day routinely with an electric tooth brush. I have tried to find information online about this condition but don t come up with much, if any relevant material. Is there anything you can tell me?
