Throat pain that won't go
Am getting treatment for bacterial throat infection and it does not seem to get better. Could it be that the problem is actually fungal coz i have white creamy like rash on my throat, roof of mouth, tongue that come and goes and also gums. At times it feels like something is stuck in my throat. Could it be that it is an fungal problem and not bacterial?

Fungal infection of mouth in healthy individual is not very common. Excessive antibiotic use can cause fungal infections occasionally. Taking a throat swab can confirm presence of fungus. If confirmed appropriate treatment can be planned
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
