My wife is experiencing white spots in the lower gums and the inner internal lower lip that bleed when she applies pressure ... she says it hurts and is eating much less. We visited a dentist (surgeon) and he has doubts it is afta because it has gone on for over two weeks. He prescrbed Nystatin oral suspension three times a day... he believes it could be a fungus manifestation. We are extremely worried and would like having a second opinion. Please reply to YYYY@YYYY . Thank you very much
Cellophane you for getting in touch with us. As I see, your wife was most probably diagnosed with Candidiasis and prescribed Statin for that. It is a commonly seen fungal infection seen in many individuals. If there are no additional signs and symptoms seen, then you need not worry about it. If there are any additional features, then we would recommend you to get a complete check-up done to rule out other diseases. Often, poor immunity leads to candidiasis and other problems. Hope this helped. Regards
