Suggest treatment for a lump in throat developed during medication for bladder infection
Patient: I am 49. I have had a bladder infection and 2 other woman infections. Only sleep with my husband. So not an STD. Had been on 3 different antibiotics for this. The last one was flagyl. I think. Half way thru taking it I developed a lump in my throat. At same time my gut is a mess. Have now been on prilosec for three months and it doesn t seem to be getting better. Could it be candida vs. gerd? Had barium swallow and it showed a little reflux but nothing excessive the doctor said. I think I am not to the bottom of this. I have been misserable now for 3 months.
