Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 26-year-old female. The signs and symptoms of my health are headache, nausea, sore throat, with pain and rashes on my tongue, and gums. Also, I see something white in my tongue.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

From your history, you likely have oral candidiasis. You can take these measures for the relief of sore throat and rashes on tongue and gums.

1) Avoid spicy food intake.

2) Use Nystatin oral drops 2 to 3 drops gargles thrice daily.

3) Use Kenalog (Triamcinolone acetonide) oral base gel BD (twice daily).

4) Tablet Ibuprofen 400 mg thrice daily for three to five days.

5) Capsule Omeprazole 40 mg OD (once daily) on an empty stomach for seven days.

The Probable causes

Spicy food intake, and poor oral hygiene.

Investigations to be done

No investigations needed now. If the problem persists, then follow-up.

Differential diagnosis

Oral candidiasis.

Pharyngitis.

Probable diagnosis

Oral candidiasis.

Preventive measures

Avoid spicy food intake and maintain good oral hygiene.

Regarding follow up

Try to use these medications for two to three days. If the problem persists, follow-up with throat, tongue, and gums pictures.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
