Can painful throat and tongue be caused due to night guard?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your query. I am sorry for such discomfort you are having.

You already know the diagnosis that it is oropharyngeal candidiasis.

Symptoms consist of:

White patches on the inner cheeks, tongue, throat.

Loss of taste.

Pain while eating or swallowing.

Soreness.

If you above symptoms, then it is most likely oropharyngeal candidiasis.

It is uncommon in healthy adults.

The occurrence of thrush in otherwise healthy-appearing persons should prompt an investigation that decreases immune systems like diabetes, corticosteroid use, etc.

Treatment includes topical application of antifungals.

For severe infection, tablet Fluconazole 200 mg PO (by mouth) on Day 1 followed by 100 mg PO per day for atleast two weeks to decrease the likelihood of relapse.

I hope you find this helpful.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

We only suggest medicine, investigations, help diagnose the medical condition, etc. We are not allowed to prescribe as our prescription is not accepted in other countries and vice versa. Also, according to telemedicine guidelines, antifungals cannot be prescribed through chat queries. It needs video mode consultation.

I hope you understand this.

Thanks.
