I have oral thrush from a month, doctor prescribed me probiotic, anti allergic and recently 5 days ago he said to gargle with anti plague and anti bacterial liquid. It's not completely cured and I have seen some swelling or bump like thing on my inner lower lip. And when I touch it's feel like something hard. It can't be seen when I stretch but can be felt and seen when made cheese face. Can anyone tell what's it?
