What Causes Burning Sensation In Mouth And Throat?
I have had Thrush in my mouth due to 25 days of antibiotics. I have been cultured, had blood work-up and have seen dentists & medical doctors. They say that there is no sign of Thrush, yet I still have a burning mouth & throat. Is it true that I can have these symptoms due to the Thrush infection itself(tongue having to get back to normal) or because of all the medication I took while having the Thrush? Please shed some light for me, I m very nervous. Thank you.

NOTHING MUCH TO WORRY,
1. STOP ALL THE ANTIBIOTICS.
2. EARLY IN THE MORNING AND BEFORE GOING TO BED, GARGLE WITH SALT AND WARM WATER, PLACING IT IN THE MOUTH FOR 30 SECOND TO 1 MINUTE.
( 3-5 TIMES)
3. PREVENT THE HABIT OF SWALLOWING OR TRYING TO CLEAR THE MOUTH.
4. A CUP OF LUKE WARM MILK, SPRINKLED WITH TURMERIC.
5. ANALGESICS MAY BE USED TWICE DAILY.
REVIEW AFTER 1 WEEK WITH THE RESPONSE.
