Joined: Aug 2012 Posts: 214 Likes: 1 | Thanks all. ENT confirmed thrush. He gave me a mouth wash with doxy, nystatn, HC, Qdryl and a 5 day diflucan persciption. Anyway, 5 days later and all is much better. He also gave me three refils for the mouthwash and said I could do some self medications for the next three month as necessary. I see him every month anyway.
Some good news to post. ENT said throat and neck looks good. I also returned to work today. I have been out for four months to the day. I wish I had a story printed out to save my voice but I will take it over the past 4 month any day. Pet 2/20 RO review 2/22. Crossed fingers.
