Hi
Since I took two courses of antibiotics for tonsilitis in December, I had a sore tongue. Then on Tuesday night my cheek felt rough inside and when I looked there were white patches. Went to emergency dentist wednesday and she said she didn't think it was thrush as it didn't look like it, and she's referred me to the hospital. I asked if she thought it was oral cancer she said it didn't look like it but she didn't know what it was. She didn't put me through on 2 week wait though, just normal appt.
My mouth has been increasing sore on one side and feels like I have mouth ulcers too. Haven't slept for two nights worrying, keep looking at white patches. They are like strings or lines all over one cheek, also tongue is sore. My sinus on that side has also been blocked. Almost passed out in shower this morning and went dizzy but not sure if this is as I am getting myself in a state about my mouth.
Went to docs this morning, he said it didn't look like thrush but that didn't mean it wasn't thrush. I asked if he thought it was cancer and he said no. I said dentist had referred me to the hospital and he said he didn't know why?
He's treating it as thrush and said it didn't look like oral cancer when I asked.
I am lucky enough to have private insurance so I am seeing a maxofacial specialist next week (dentist said would be long wait on nhs).
What is this? Driving myself insane with worry.

Could it be lichen planus?
