Called my ENT, he said try not to worry and gargle with salt water, and let him know what happens after a few days. I am very compliant, and I trust him unconditionally.

I tried to scrape it off. It isn't coming off, but I have no idea how hard I should try. I googled thrush, and it does seem like we all are good candiates for it. 'cept mine doesn't hurt at all.

Off to gargle.
