I have white spots on the side and rear of my tongue. On the back of the tongue, it resembles a large white patch. I've tried clenorush gel, clenorush troche, and candida mouth paint, but it hasn't helped, sir. It's still there. I occasionally have a bitter taste in my mouth. There are moments when it seems like the tongue has thickened. Please assist.
White patches on the tongue that are not improving with antifungal treatments like Candida mouth paint may not be simple fungal infection (Oral thrush) and could be due to conditions like Leukoplakia, vitamin deficiency, poor oral hygiene, or even irritation from smoking, spicy food, or acidity; the feeling of thickness and persistent patch needs proper examination. You should maintain good oral hygiene (brush tongue gently, rinse after meals, avoid tobacco/spicy foods), stay hydrated, and most importantly consult a dentist or ENT specialist soon for direct examination
