Suggest Treatment For Severe Sore Throat
I have had a severe sore throat which after having a throat culture showed signs of thrush. I was prescribed Acyclovir 800mg and Clindamycin which I have been taking. I am experiencing heartburn and my throat does continue to become sore but only in the evening. I am almost finished with these pills but am concerned that I am still not feeling up to par. Should I return to the Dr. once again for additional meds or is it possible it is just a virus thsat needs to work it s way out of my system. I have NO fever

Thrush is fungal infection due to immunosupression. Use nystatin solutions for application or lozenges. Rile out cause of thrush then only will the sore throat go.. finish the course of the medicines.given to u in case the heralding or initial cause is viral
