Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to a fungal infection. The treatment for mild to moderate infections in the mouth or throat is usually an anti fungal medicine applied to the inside of the mouth for 7 to 14 days. I suggest using Clotrimazole gel for local application. I also suggest using Fluconazole 150 mg daily for three days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
