What Causes Sores In Throat?
Hi. I m writing concerning my mother, who is 80. Recently she had strep throat. Now she has sores in her throat. Her doctor ordered a CATscan, which came back negetive for tumors. Now he wants to put her under and perform a scope/biopsy because he doesn t know what they are. Is this necessary? She has a history of getting yeast infections in her mouth when she s taking antibiotics. Couldn t it just be that?

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The sore throat can be related to a yeast infection.
I suggest to do a throat culture for further evaluation.
Meanwhile,I suggest using a throat spray for antibacterial properties.
I also recommend using an anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the inflammation.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
