#White Patches in Your Mouth? It Could Be Oral Thrush

Have you noticed white patches on your tongue, gums, inner cheeks, or roof of your mouth?

One possible cause is oral thrush (oral candidiasis) — a fungal infection caused by an overgrowth of Candida.
Common symptoms may include: • White or creamy patches in the mouth
• Redness or soreness
• Burning or discomfort when eating
• Difficulty swallowing in some cases
• A cotton-like feeling in the mouth
Oral thrush can occur more easily after antibiotic use, with certain medications, poor oral hygiene, dry mouth, or a weakened immune system.

Don't ignore persistent white patches. Not every white patch is thrush, so proper assessment is important.
If symptoms persist or keep coming back, see a healthcare professional for evaluation and appropriate treatment.

🩺 BACK PAIN AFTER SPINAL ANAESTHESIA

What You Should Know

Many patients worry about back pain after spinal anaesthesia—but the truth is, it’s usually mild, temporary, and treatable.

🔍 COMMON CAUSES
✔️ Needle insertion trauma
Small injury to ligaments or muscles during the procedure
✔️ Muscle spasm
Due to positioning (especially bending the back for long)
✔️ Multiple attempts
More needle passes = more local irritation
✔️ Pre-existing back problems
Conditions like Lumbar spondylosis may worsen temporarily
✔️ Poor posture after surgery
Lying or sitting incorrectly can trigger pain
✔️ Rare complications (IMPORTANT)
Infection (e.g., Epidural abscess)
Bleeding (e.g., Spinal hematoma)
👉 These are very rare but serious

⚠️ WHEN TO WORRY
Seek medical help if you notice:
❗ Severe or worsening back pain
❗ Fever
❗ Weakness or numbness in legs
❗ Loss of bladder or bowel control

💊 MANAGEMENT
✔️ Simple pain relief
Paracetamol or NSAIDs
✔️ Rest & proper positioning
Avoid straining your back
✔️ Warm compress
Helps relieve muscle spasm
✔️ Early gentle movement
Prevents stiffness
✔️ Physiotherapy (if needed)
Especially for persistent pain
✔️ Treat underlying cause
Infection or bleeding requires urgent care

✅ KEY MESSAGE
👉 Back pain after spinal anaesthesia is common but usually harmless
👉 Most patients recover within a few days
👉 Serious complications are very rare—but never ignore warning signs
