Potential Oral thrush?

Question

If anyone knows,can oral thrush not resemble cottage cheese
but present itself as a whitish like streak on both inside cheeks
and a whitish film that sorta looks like jelly or phlegm and can be
moved around with the tongue? Also can it affect your breath
and how? Thanks Everyone..

Thanks eveyone..this appeared when
I had a bad tonsillitis infection a few
years ago and has been that way ever since.I never question what is this white
stuff on my cheeks.I'm sure everyone's
cheek is suppose to be all pinkish with
nothing white on them..

Answer 1

Doesn't sound like thrush, no. I would recommend going to WebMD and trying your symptoms there. I would need to know more.

Answer 2

Yes, I have had it twice and my daughter got it when she was shortly after she was born. Both times I got it there were just whitish streaks along my lower lip and my cheeks and I could easly wipe if off. I'm not sure about the bad breath thing, but I have a feeling it could cause it, it is an infection. My doc. gave me some medicine to swish around but it didn't work too well, he also told me to make a solution of warm water and salt and rinse my mouth out with it 3 times a day (spit out solution after about 60 seconds), that works really well.

Answer 3

Don't know for certain, but if it is, make yourself a mouthwash of plain, unsweetened yogurt and water and rinse your mouth two or three times a day. Then swallow the "mouthwash" and keep eating the yogurt.

Thrush is from the same fungus that results in jock itch, athlete's foot, vaginitis (in women), ringworm and other skin rashes. It is the Candida Albicans fungus (yeast).

Answer 4

In babies it just looks like a white film almost like their formula or milk is building up on the tongue and cheeks.
