Patient presents with complaints consistent with oropharyngeal candidiasis, also known as oral thrush.  Symptoms include white patches on the tongue, inner cheeks, and sometimes the roof of the mouth, gums, and tonsils.  The patient may report pain, a burning sensation, or difficulty swallowing.  Lesions are described as creamy white plaques that can be scraped off, revealing erythematous mucosa.  Differential diagnosis includes leukoplakia, hairy leukoplakia, and other oral infections.  Diagnosis confirmed via clinical examination and, if necessary, microscopic examination with potassium hydroxide preparation revealing pseudohyphae and yeast cells.  Risk factors assessed included recent antibiotic use, corticosteroid use, inhaled corticosteroid use, denture use, diabetes mellitus, immunosuppression, HIV infection, and xerostomia.  The patient's current medications were reviewed.  Treatment plan includes antifungal medication such as nystatin oral suspension, clotrimazole troches, or fluconazole tablets.  Patient education provided regarding proper oral hygiene, medication administration, and follow-up care.  ICD-10 code B37.0, Oral Candidiasis, is documented.  The patient will be scheduled for a follow-up appointment to assess treatment response and resolution of symptoms.  Continued monitoring and management may be necessary for recurrent or persistent infections.
