Thrush: Thrush and candida are the same. Let your doctor examine your throat. Eat lots of yogurt . If it is an area lower than your throat, you may need the area scoped by an ear, nose and throat specialist. All the best.

Sore throat: so you have had this "sore throat" for five months now??? The duration of your symptoms warrants a thorough evaluation by ENT specialist. Some time allergies can make throat itch and irritable but it does not ' hurt' with allergies.
