I'm 22 years old, generall healthy andI
have a quick question.
Ive had a mild sore throat for the past
day or two, nothing out of the ordinary
(my throat gets sore quite a bit). It's
not sore when I wake up, but it gets worse
as the day goes on. Also, when I wake up,
I have a horrible taste in my mouth (just
just typical morning breath).
I was just inspecting my mouth, seeing if
there was anything serious going on, and I
noticed that the roof of my mouth is all
white and yellow. I also noticed that I'm
getting brown freckle like spots on my
cheeks. I'm not sure if this is serious,
or just symptoms that I normally get and
have never noticed. This couldn't be oral
cancer or anything serious could it? I'm
going to my dentist in a few weeks, but I
can't wait until then to know. Can anyone
help me?
Also, when I type in my symptoms oral
thrush seems to be comming up, but from
the pictures I see, it looks NOTHING like
what I have in my mouth. It's not bleeding
and there are no lumps or raised peices,
it's just a flat coating on the roof of my
mouth. I have pictures, but there doesn't
seem to be a way for me to attach them
here. I would be happy to if there is a
way.
Thanks so much!
Thanks

Hi, 6babydee6!
I know you said you have a dentist
appointment in a few weeks, but was that
appointment made specifically for these
symptoms or is it just a general
cleaning?
To my knowledge, if you let the office
know that something is wrong, they'll get
you in ASAP to take a look (as opposed to
a general cleaning which you sometimes
have to wait weeks or even months for). I
definitely think you should give them a
call and tell them exactly what you've
said, here; spell out your symptoms for
them and see if they have an answer or can
get you in within the next day or two to
be seen for it.
I know it's been about a week since you
posted this... have you found out anything
since?
