Hello,I believe I have had oral thrush for many years and
it has went undiagnosed.My inside cheeks has a whitish
streak on them and a film that looks like slime/jelly that
I can move with my tongue.If I remember correctly my cheeks
have always been completely pink with nothing white on them.
I believe this is the culprit of my chronic bad breath that
I have had for many,many years 24 hrs a day.I never questioned
this whitish film and did not believe it could be anything.
My tongue is also coated and this appeared around the
bad tonsillitis and never cleared up.I was treated with antibiotics
once for this infection.I had them removed in 1997.I also have
a not so clean taste/ bad taste that never left.Several internet
doctors say my description is definitely thrush and also
that this is the cause of my bad breath.Once treated,they say
the bad breath usually go away because it is a fungal infection.
Could this be correct? I’ve always taken care of my dental….
I thank the board for the responses.To
clarify the tonsillitis onset was when I
was 12 y.o. I don’t understand why
my dentists and M.D. never caught
this.I do not have any other illness
or infections.Does anyone know if
this relating to the chronic bad breath
or know of any instances that thrush
has caused it? Thanks
