Has anyone ever had oral thrush?

Was there an underlying cause? Were you pregnant/breastfeeding?

I think I have it, my tongue goes yellow and there are little whire spots on it and it feels sorelike I have burnt it or eaten crusty bread. I had my baby 4 weeks ago and I am breast feeding her. I started with this about two weeks ago. I treated it with Daktarin gel and it went away and now it is back.

Anyone else had it?

I've had it a few times, no idea why. The only thing that worked was garlic (seriously) and mega strength medication from the GP. I had antibiotics from the dentist a few times and this also caused it.

garlic tablets?

No, I chopped a bit of garlic in half and sucked it whilst moving it around my mouth. It did work, honest Smile

I've only ever had it after antibiotics. Very sore, burnt feeling tongue with white patches.

I used Daktarin and it cleared up within a week.
