    If you have mouth and tooth problems, call or go to the doctor or clinic for:
    • Mouth sores that begin soon after you start a new medicine
    • Mouth sores that last longer than 2 weeks
    • White patches on the roof of the mouth or tongue (this may be thrush)
    • Mouth or tooth problems with another health problem like HIV, cancer, or diabetes
    • Other symptoms like fever, skin rash, or trouble swallowing
    • Very bad discomfort or pain
