Thank you, Lisa. I have sent a picture in an email to the doctor who prescribed the mouth wash for the thrush. He didn't buy that it had anything to do with that. However, since then I've read that Qvar, a medication for COPD, can cause this white gunk AND that Qvar can lower one's immunity! I'm experimenting with no Qvar for a few days.
