White tongue and mucus after oral

[Marian85]

Hello everyone!

I write here for the 3rd time. This is my mucus from the back of my throat in the morning.

7 months ago I had unprotected oral sex. All STIs tests are negative. All the candida tests I did so far (at least 6) are negative. Pharyngeal exudates and nasal exudates came back negative. Blood tests are normal apart from low eosinophils count and low monocytes count. After more than half a year I still have a coated tongue, dry and sticky lips, mild pharyngitis, clogged ears, dry nose and a very thick mucous in the back of my throat (symptoms which started 3 days after my sexual contact). Recently I started to have some headaches that are ore severe in the mornings, when there is more mucous acumulated in my throat as well.

So far I have been to at least 30 doctors (GP, ENT, dermatology, infectious diseases, oral and maxilofacial, stomathology). All the doctors are staring at me and keep senting me from one specialist to another.

My entire oral cavity is affected, including the throat.

I don't know what this migh be.

I reached a dead end.

Any advice is much appreciated!

Hi!

Last ENT doctor diagnosed my condition as Laryngopharyngeal Reflux (LPR). I did an endoscopy 3 months ago...the result was "minimum lesions of esophagitis Grade A (Los Angeles)".

The ENT told me it's silent reflux...... I was prescribed Lanzoprazole for 2 months. The only problem is that I had already taken Nexium for 1 month after the endoscopy with absolutely no effect. I don't believe this diagnosis.

Hi!

I had some improvement with Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) . I had a second endoscopy at the beginning of December and the doctors discovered antral gastritis with an active helicobacter pylori infection. I was put on PPIs earlier in September by my ENT doctor and I still had gastritis after 3 months on medication (high dose of Lanzoprazole) . The helicobacter pylori was positive while I was on PPIs so the infection must have been pretty bad. I started to feel a little bit better after the antibiotics.... But just a little bit. I am still suffering. The process is very very slow. I strictly follow the Acid Watcher Diet (Dr. Aviv) and I am still on PPIs with very little improvement. I least I know that my problem is in my gut and it's not something else more dangerous...

My problem was caused by this:

Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae)

cdc.gov/hai/organisms/klebs...

I returned with it from Ireland/Dublin (I live in Easten Europe).

Absoluletely all STDs/STIs tests were negative. Throat swabs and sputum were negative several times for absolutely everithing (I sincerely don't know why).

I got lucky when I went to an extremly dedicated and patient doctor in Warsaw (Poland). I spent aprox 1 hour in her office and went together through the piles of analyses I had done in 18 months. She deciced to test me for some unusual things ---- the tests came back positive for Klebsiella pneumoniae. I have/had it in my oral cavity, throat and esofagus.

Tomorrow I finish the antibiotics. I already feel better than ever before.

Hope this helps others out there!!!

Good luck to everyone!

Hello Marian,

how did the doctor achieve the conclusion? What kind of tests did you do to detect the root cause and what kind of specialty is the doctor?

Does white coated disappear after antibiotic course?
