I’ve run into a bit of a weird situation.
Basically, I suddenly developed these standard oral thrush issues. It started as just two or three little blisters on my gums, nothing else. On my dentist's advice, I started using all sorts of mouthwashes and rinses, but instead of helping, it actually seemed to spread. So, I went to see my primary care physician—they managed to clear part of it, but I just can't get rid of the last few spots. They prescribed a medicated rinse which helped a little, but this stubborn lingering part just won't budge.
I'm wondering where I should go from here and how to actually handle this.
To make matters worse, my regular dentist moved, and the new one I saw doesn't seem to have any clue what they're looking at. So, I'm getting zero help there.
My GP seems only half-interested in really digging into it.
Where should I take this? Should I see an ENT? Or maybe head back to a specialist dental clinic?
It feels like I'm just being bounced from one doctor to another because none of them can agree on who is actually responsible for treating oral issues. -.-
Any ideas? Thanks.
