Confused on whether or not I have Oral Thrush

Although I haven't had any symptoms really I feel as if my tongue is way too white, especially towards the back leading to my throat. I haven't really managed to line up my symptoms towards thrush but they are fairly mundane on the basis of pain and discomfort they cause

    Oral thrush usually causes patches on the tongue that have a white or off-white color and may have an unpleasant taste. It can also be painful, especially when eating or drinking. People with weakened immune systems, those who have recently taken antibiotics or those who are having diabetes will be likely to get the condition. Brush your tongue with a toothbrush every day. If symptoms do not go away, you should see a doctor for help.
