Suggest Treatment For Sore Throat, Itching Pain Leading To Discomfort While Trying To Swallow
A few days ago after oral sex with my husband, I noticed a sore throat, very Itchy and pain and discomfort when I swallow. I ve been taking erolin for the itching but seeing as it still feels uncomfortable I looked today and noticed lots of white patches all over my tonsils and bad breath. Can you help me figure out what this is?

Hello,
It seems to be a throat infection. I recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and performing a throat swab for streptococcus and a culture for fungal infection. You need to be treated based on these tests results.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
