A member asked:
I got a white painful spot on my throat 3-5 days into taking flagyl and in 5 days it tripled in size... theres just one spot. what could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
White spot: It could be oral fungal infection which happens when you take antibiotic. The doc will prescribe an anti fungal oral solution if you call him. If it is persisting after the treatment, you should see a dentist or oral surgeon for a possible biopsy to rule out precancerous leukoplakia.
