thrush has a cottage cheese appearance in the mouth. usually creamy white spots dot your tongue or inner cheeks. most of the people i've worked with who have thrush say it's quite painful. thrush is basically a yeast infection of the mouth. it is caused by the candida fungus. it can be caused by uncontrolled diabetes hiv or even something as simple as taking antibiotics. you may be experiencing thrush or you may have something very common called fordyce spots. these usually occur along the lip line (vermilion border) or just inside the lips. this condition is benign (not life-threatening). if your tongue is numb or painful and covered with white spots you probably should get checked out by a doctor. if you're running a fever you definitely should get checked. you can't self-treat thrush so if you do have it you need to get a prescription mouth rinse. i hope this helps!
