Well I don't know if this helps, but in spite of having good salivary function I developed thrush almost 5 years post Tx, out of the clear blue sky, confirmed with a culture. It was all on the tongue and didn't resemble the thrush I had going through treatment.

Tell your ENT you think you have thrush - that should get you in there sooner.
