Is there a cure for inflamed tongue fungus?

Welcome, @davidvictordavid. I moved your question to the Autoimmune Diseases group and the Ear, Nose & Throat (ENT) group to help you connect with others. I'm wondering, does your wife have something called oral thrush or oral candidiasis?

Here's more information from Mayo Clinic
- Oral Thrush https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/oral-thrush/symptoms-causes/syc-20353533

Has your wife received a formal diagnosis? Has she been seen by an ENT specialist?

I am no Doctor but I have a suggestion, You say it is an Fungal infection.athletes foot. Hoof and mouth dasease. Have them do a blood test to see if she has a blood yeast infection...
does she have any foot pain. Off and on there is also a toxicity test she can take to see if it is mold related toxicity blood test......
Mold in your house or under the house in the walls ... mold spores also could be a factor. . fluconizole for athlete's foot see about that just putting it out there ,,myself l have been fighting hosheshumoto thyroiditis atrophy hypothyroidism uncontrolled now total thyroid atrophy with mild pituitary atrophy,,,, according to the indocornaligist as of present day

Good old fashioned shot of whiskey spoon full of honey bite of lime

Guessing when you say she has Lupus and “sturgeon” it was autocorrected? Does she have this (which causes oral thrush)?
https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/sjogrens-syndrome/symptoms-causes/syc-20353216

Hoof and mouth disease only existed in animals. Hand, foot and mouth disease is a childhood illness that causes sores.

I apologies for the, poo,lack of, clarification and word choice...yes hoof cloven and mouth,, is animal... Foot ,Hand , and mouth is referring to people... Could you clarify what type of lupus does she have have . diagnosed with, SLE ? Stress can bring on flare ups lupus exc what can make a big difference is having a food panel allergy test done,soy corn, wheat, exc l have been dealing with the auto amune hosheshumoto thyroiditis uncontrollable hypothyroidism,, for 20 plus yrs. Kept having flare ups from joint pain ,dry skin severe, bright red face sores in mouth exc.stomache problems you name it about 18 months ago a doctor wanted me to not eat store bought peanut butter,and decided to run a full allergies food test on me
I had no clue l was allergic to so many food ,grains, sauce s . And the relationship.auto amune flare ups or triggers. . That was being kicked into high gear every time I ate lm allergic corn , products wheat,soy products,sesime seeds peanut butter, milk the allergies test results showed the percentages of allergy per product levels
This new knowledge and cut out on most of the products has been life changing. Had l known this 20 years ago ,,,

Hope this information can help also ask for a fungal spores..mold spores Test done on the throat tongue. To see if that is the problem or is it do to the medication for treating the lupus causing the tongue to be inflamed ,,,, Ask for Nystatin oral solution with """ codeine"" it is foot and mouth thrush. """Rinse. ""That will numb. The throat allowing one to eat and possibly cure that I'll.

jb6205 Thanks so much for your guidance. She is finishing a 10-day treatment using Nystatin oral suspension USP 4 x daily and one tablet of Fluconazole 150 mg per day for the same 10 days.
This is day nine. The regiment has allowed her to eat a little better, but her mouth has not yet improved. and still no joy. She can not take codeine due to allergies.

She has a rheumatologist appointment on the 7th. We will press for fungal / mold spore testing.

Thanks again for your guidance.

Hi @davidvictordavid,

I had a multicolored tongue and spent a long time bringing it back to normal. I used the chlorahexadine liquid on a Qtip to paint my tongue, so as to not discolor my teeth. I also took chlortrimazole tablets (not at the same time of day). I now use a metal tongue scraper everyday.

Hi @davidvictordavid ,

I also do not have a great immune system.
