Hello, what is the appearance of the sore bits? Has it changed over time? Do the sore bits change or are they in the same place? Has a doc seen it and has it been swabbed?
As Snazzy says - I hope you have been treating it under the doctor and not just buying OTC remedies? There are other things it might be and once a fungal infection gets entrenched it needs more robust treatment.
One of the problms is that it isn't just an oral problem - once it gets a hold it can be all the way through the gut and just reinfects the mouth as you clear it with topical treatments. Sometimes you need a course of tablets - not just one day.
I had a similar experience a while back (before Covid), tried mouthwashes etc - eventually saw a doctor who told me it wasn’t thrush but Geographic Tongue. Unattractive but benign.
