I went back to the doctor becuase I'm still running fever (102) and have a horrible sore throat.
Dr. prescribed me antibiotics (even though my strep came back negative) but said my lymph glands were swollen and I shouldn't have fever for 5 days with a virus.
Anyway, I am almost certain I have thrush. I had it once before and it feels the same. I think it's spread down the back of my throat. I can't eat--- it hurts SOO bad to eat, even sucking on popsickles is painful or drinking any fluids.
My whole mouth now hurts.
I have pain medicine but it's not even bringing relief.
I am eating 2 bowls of sugar free/plain yogurt for the candida and also taking Acidophilus supplements.
Is there anything else I can do??
I haven't hurt this bad in a long time.
** And do you think I should take this antibiotics??? I'm scared it will only make it worse and it's not really bacterial (no blood test was done to check white count).
