Well, I got into the clinic, and Cherie may be correct. The doctor seemed to think that it looked more like thrush than strep, but still put me on an antibiotic (amoxicillin) and antifungal (fluconazole).
So I guess I should be avoiding sweets now huh? What about sugar free gum? That to be avoided as well?
How in heck's name did I end up with oral thrush if that is in fact what it is? Grumble. Seems I quit smoking and tossed my body into complete turmoil.
I hope it's not the new man that caused this, if you know what I'm saying!
