Patient presents with complaints consistent with oropharyngeal candidiasis, commonly known as oral thrush.  Symptoms include white patches on the tongue, inner cheeks, and sometimes on the roof of the mouth, gums, and tonsils.  The patient may report associated symptoms such as sore throat, difficulty swallowing (dysphagia), altered taste (dysgeusia), or a cottony feeling in the mouth.  Clinical examination reveals characteristic creamy white, curd-like plaques that can be scraped off, revealing erythematous underlying mucosa.  Differential diagnosis includes leukoplakia, hairy leukoplakia, and other oral infections.  Diagnosis of oropharyngeal thrush is confirmed by clinical presentation and, if necessary, potassium hydroxide (KOH) preparation demonstrating pseudohyphae and yeast cells.  Predisposing factors, such as recent antibiotic use, inhaled corticosteroid use, diabetes mellitus, immunosuppression, or denture use, were explored.  Treatment plan includes antifungal medication, such as nystatin oral suspension, clotrimazole troches, or fluconazole tablets, depending on the severity and patient-specific factors.  Patient education regarding proper oral hygiene, medication adherence, and management of underlying conditions was provided.  Follow-up appointment scheduled to assess treatment response and resolution of symptoms.  ICD-10 code B37.0 Oral thrush, B37.8 Other specified candidiasis, or B37.9 Candidiasis, unspecified, will be used for billing and coding purposes, depending on the specific clinical scenario.  SNOMED CT code 109072003 Oral candidiasis will be included in the electronic health record for precise clinical documentation.
