    What colour is your tongue valval? Mine is a delightful shade of yellow, thanks to the side effects of naproxen. I have continual oral thrush and this leads to a strange (and constant) taste in my mouth. DD

    Nothing. I tried a number of treatments throughout 2008 but it never cleared thanks to the continual drip, drip, drip of daily naproxen. DD

    Hi val

    I am not very helpful as I can't remember what doc gave me for oral thrush only that it was an orange gel. (not bad taste either)

    I hope what ever it is soon clears up :)

    I had a metallic taste in my mouth when I was pregnant. Are you trying to tell us something? :P

    Seriously, it could nothing, but if it does persist or get worse go to GP. Could it be thrush?

    Hi Val

    I use Biotene mouthwash and toothpaste - it is a specialist mouthwash for dry mouth and it has made a world of difference to the health of my mouth in general. I am sure that this is why I have not succumbed to oral thrush, mouth ulcers etc (yet!) despite having taken high dose steroids for past few months. It is outrageously expensive (think second mortgage) but I can thoroughly recommend it. Just a thought.

    Love Tilly x

    I use this, too. It is good and I'd suggest you have a look and see if you can find it on offer anywhere, Val.

    I think the orange gel someone mentioned is Daktarin......not a bad taste and I've always got some in as I do get both ulcers and thrush at times.

    Daktarin. The only med that has ever made me heave. It's like slightly orange-flavoured wall paper paste. I hated it! And it didn't work! DD
