Guest guest Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 sounds like you have a fungal infection in your mouth called thrush. the white dots on your tongue are a classic sign. see you doctor and he can give you an antifungal medication (probably nystatin). good luck.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 uhmmm, all this talk about thrush...i'd like to point out that white spots on the tongue are pretty standard when you're sick. your tongue is one of the first telling signs and usually turns yellow or white and sometimes even gets little white dots or blisters (at least mine does as do a number of other people i know). i think amy's white dots are really just her immune system trying to fight back the virus and not the thrush. just thought i'd throw in my two cents. > > > > > > i am 1 week post op from upper jaw surgery and i am miserable! > > > i have been running a fever and have been dehydrated. my throat > hurts > > > soo much that it is hard for me to drink. has anyone had problems > like > > > this? i need some help and support cuz every day i wake up feeling > a > > > little worse instead of beeter! > > > > > > > > > > > > --------------------------------- > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
