mirabelle 64 Posted August 7, 2013 Please sleevers help me out on this one. My tongue is coated and white and no matter how much I brush and scrape my tongue it won't go away! Anyone else have this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PdxMan 4,292 Posted August 7, 2013 Do a Google search on Thrush. Compare the images to yours. Happened to me after my last operation. 1 FishingNurse reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spiritwind 13 Posted August 7, 2013 Sounds like Thrash it's a yeast infection babies normally get. You need antibiotics. It's not a big deal!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fiddleman 4,376 Posted August 7, 2013 Yup - I got the thrush also. You can get some medicine, but mine went away after a week without meds in addition to some tongue tooth brushing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jessiegurl2686 104 Posted August 7, 2013 I had the same thing happen to me a week after surgrey. My surgeon called in thrush meds... I never took it it went away . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mirabelle 64 Posted August 7, 2013 Thanks everyone! Definitely what it is, I was readmitted the day after I was discharged last week due to an abdominal hematoma. The amount of antibiotics the put in me was crazy! Antibiotics apparently can cause thrush and since I don't have lesions it will likely go away on its own. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! Gotta love this forum! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
