I have not had that but the carbocysteine should help, as will drinking plenty of water. I hope it is soon resolved.

Anti fungal maybe.. the doctor should know..

At present only Candida printed on form ?

Candida is thrush Carol so antibiotics won’t help. Ask your gp about anti-fungals if it’s giving you a sore throat
