Hi, I recently had a sore throat with a white thick coating and sore white patches in my throat. My mouth was very dry and I could bearly swallow. It lasted for three weeks. Now, the white patches have disappeared, my mouth is still very dry and I m having an enormous amount of gas, heavy burping, upset stomach, nausea and dizziness. I don t know if everything is connected, I just feel terrible ! I am on a lot of medications and I have rheumatoid arthritis and that seems to also be flaring.
