Okay do me a favor - go to the health food store (whole foods) buy a jar of pure manuka honey 16+ - after each meal - take a small teaspoon full - put it in your mouth - let it melt - hold it there - swish it around for about a minute to two - do this for a few days! (you can swallow it) The manuka is not cheap can run up to about 20 dollars - it is all natural and natures version of hydrogen peroxide - it is anti- inflammatory, anti fungal, and cleans remarkably well - I had a few white Patches on my tongue post treatment I asked my dr for anti thrush meds - he said I had it in my magic mouth wash which I was using ( and wasn't helping ) two days with the honey cleared it up - since yours seems more involved it may take a but longer but try it - while you are busy trying to get a second opinion. Good luck -
