Hi doctor,
There is a white patch on my tongue that started out as a red, inflamed taste bud. It is very painful, and the patch has got bigger.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Your history is not clear. If the patch is severely painful and if it is present for two to three days, it can be an aphthous ulcer. If it is having a history of more than a week, it can be a fungal infection. I would recommend you an antifungal Candid mouth paint (Clotrimazole). Use it two to three times daily. Do not eat after applying it for at least 10 minutes. Also do salt gargles twice daily and take multivitamins for a month.
