Thrush and Reaction to Medication

Oral thrush, a common fungal infection, can contribute to the formation of a white tongue. It is characterized by the overgrowth of Candida, a type of yeast, in the mouth. This can occur when the immune system is weakened, such as in individuals with HIV/AIDS or those taking certain medications like antibiotics or corticosteroids. In addition to thrush, certain medications can cause a white coating on the tongue due to an allergic reaction or side effect. It is essential to work closely with a healthcare professional to address these issues and find appropriate treatments.
