Brief Answer:
No need fro an ER visit at this time.

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this query.

I know you would have loved an immediate response but this is simply not possible at this time. Recovery from thrush is progressive and not instantaneous. The swollen glands and tongue as all as a result of this infection. With the sodium bicarbonate gargle solution, I will suggest that you apply it for a couple of days at least, 3-5days generally, before seeking further evaluation if you don’t still feel okay. Your diagnosis and treatment are appropriate and thus don’t need to rushed for failure.

I hope this helps clear some of your worries and wins some more time of you to observe. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
