I think I may have oral thrush!

After google'ing more than I should I think I may have oral thrush. I have little white spots on my gum's and inside my lips.

It is not painful but I am aware of the spots IYSWIM.

Do I need to go to the GP?

Could the pg have caused this?

You don't need the GP. Suck a bit of garlic for 20 mins. Tastes foul, gives you manky breath but gets rid of it.

Pg does all sorts to the body. See your GP if you are concerned though.

Thanks, I was just wondering if it could have been the pg that caused it or if there is something more underlying IYSWIM.

I will try the garlic, thanks.

That or see the dentist as they can also prescribe for it. I've had it several times after a holiday in Cyprus (bioyoghurt is very good for trying to resynch your body). Otherwise its some foul mouth sweets that taste of aniseed - yuck!

Forgot to say it really can get painful - I couldn't eat with it and my mouth was bleeding - if it continues go and see Dentist/GP as its not good to let it continue.
