weird white phlegm in mouth

[miika]

yes, today it`s this.  So sick and tired to fight with my mouth 24/7. What could it be? Like there`s white  thin, dry phlegm or something, and kinda weird taste too. goes away after drinking water.

could this be related to my toothache? dry mouth? yeast infection?

Wish I could rest for a second, but no. it just all get worse and worse.

I have had the same thing before. I believe that when you have post nasal drip, allergies and
the like, this is what can happen.

so it should not be sign of anything too serious?

toothache? dry mouth? yeast infection?

Definitely does not sound ominous.

I've been fighting with my mouth too, lately - to the point that I think I've made my jaw and neck sore from checking so much. Now I don't know what is what, as far as a real or actual problem.

Have you been on any meds lately? I recently took an antibiotic and it made my tongue all wacky. My doctor said she has had other patients with the same thing. They called it "furry tongue" but did treat me for oral thrush (yeast infection) also. No biggie and I feel completely fine a few weeks later.

exactly. been complaining about my toothache here, not sure if it even is actual tooth problem. Or just tensed jaw/face muscles or what. too much worrying etc, I dont know what is what either.

"Have you been on any meds lately?"

yep. antibiotics. I`m sure thats the cause. yeast. I get antibiotics while ago to sinus infection, but never took them. few days ago started taking, because scared of tooth infection I avoid antibiotics because I get yeast "down there" lol.....I guess now it`s in my mouth too.

Post nasal drip definitely causes this too. It's icky and sticky and tastes bad. Once I brush my teeth and rinse my mouth out, it's fine.
