Hi, It is suggestive of oral thrush (fungal infection of oral cavity). Medium is a proton pump inhibitor that acts by suppressing production of stomach acid and is commonly prescribed to treat symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease, stomach ulcer and other conditions. Its common side effects include diarrhea, headache, and on prolonged use it may cause thinning of the bones and increased risk of gut infections. Having oral thrush and symptoms of increased hunger I advise you to check your fasting blood sugar to rule out diabetes. I also advise you to use antifungal creams like clotrimazole or fluconazole for oral thrush, maintain good oral hygiene, brush your teeth twice daily, and rinse your mouth after eating. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
