Hello my budgie has some sort of white build up where her upper and lower beak meets. Her voice has also changed a bit and she seems to be stretching her neck a lot and then doing a gulping motion. She has already been treated for mites and then a respiratory infection with baytril. Could she possibly have cadidiasis?

It's possible there is a yeast or another infection still ongoing, especially if her beak and cere are so flaky and there is buildup. Having your vet take another look and taking a sample to send off for testing or getting started on an anti-fungal may help resolve the problem. Making sure Little Blue is eating a healthy, balanced diet can also help ensure she's getting the right nutrition to help maintain a healthy body and combat any illness.
