What Causes White Patches In Mouth?
My six year old is taking Amox/K Clav 400/5ML sus for suspected strep throat. The rapid test was negative but her symptoms are indicative of strep throat. She has developed white patches and what looks like blisters in her mouth. We were wondering if this could be a reaction to the medicine or if the infection was moving into her mouth? Thank you for your opinion.Dianna

Hello,
Thank you for your contact to health care magic. I understand your concern. If I am your doctor I suggest you that white patch in the mouth has two possibility one is Candida infection second is C. diphtheria infection. I suspect the first one. But you can confirm the condition by doing Grams stain. Treatment regimen will be decided after the report.
