? thrush: Unusual for thrush to appear this far removed from a course of antibiotics. Thrush will appear like a whitish coating on your tongue and possible gums. May cause bad breath. See http://www.webmd.com/oral-health/tc/thrush-topic-overview. Good luck

A member asked:

I had a UTI, had an antibiotic. I took 1 pill of the antibiotic, then stopped because it felt like it was going away without medication. I don't like taking them cause I'm on BC and waited 10 days for unprotected sex. Do I have any risk of pregnancy?
