Fungal infection and diabetes needs good care. The reason is that mild infections can suddenly worsen and become challenging. But the important thing is if your dad’s sugars are under control.
Both fungal infection and diabetes needs to be treated at same time.
Next Steps
Your visit should be to medical doctor - diabetologist or endocrinologist and later a dentist. Baking soda 2tsp in 1 liter of water helps with the white and red inflamed areas. I hope your dad got well.

Hello sir, please take your father to a near by dentist for a thorough oral prophylaxis. Dentist will have to examine the infection to diagnose. Without seeing it is difficult to diagnose. For pain he can use any analgesic.
