It's Saturday. Thursday I had an asthma attack and started steroids. I now have yet another related problem. My tongue is coated in white splotches as is the back of my throat. My mouth feels like sandpaper. It started last night.. it's thrush. I will have spent the past 3 days at the pharmacy trying to get over asthma and side effects of the treatment. I have 4 more days of steroids. Of course it's Saturday and the doctor isn't in, but I may have a script on file for at least Nystatin. I spent a lot of last summer on this med. It tastes horrific, but it does work well and fast. It's a 'swish and spit'.
