That's great! I wish it would work like that for all of us. What dose were you taking?

Lightbulb yes,
you should see a doctor. It may be a chronic thrush (Candida) which is easily treated.

Or it can signal a lowered white cell count.
This is potentially serious.

Another possibility is GERD reflux during sleep. It can burn the throat that way too.
