What Are the Causes of Tongue Fungus?
Tongue fungus, also known as oral thrush, appears as velvety, white, patchy lesions in the mouth. These lesions may bleed and be painful, making it difficult to eat. This condition is not serious in a healthy person, but there can be serious complications if the person with tongue fungus has a compromised immune system. If you have tongue fungus, see a doctor. You may be prescribed a mouth rinse or lozenges to kill the fungus.
