Hi everyone, it is a while since I was on here but I would love some advice, about 6 weeks ago I had a heavy cold which lingered for a few weeks followed by thrush for 2 weeks but now my swallowing is getting worse and my dry mouth is worse than ever. I am sweating all the time even outside.
Has anyone had this happen to them almost 3 years after treatment?
TIA Lillian
That's good that you now know it's nothing serious. Even though you won't have a Christmas dinner, you will have a worry free one.

Hi Lillian
so glad to read this!!
I’m 18 months post end of treatment and have had similar problems, albeit not the sweating. Two very bad throats in the last 4 weeks, consultant mentioned thrush on Friday at my usual 8 week check. Suggested it was nothing serious, but has order some general blood tests all the same.
Doesn’t stop you worrying though
I’ll take your advise with the vitamin c, and drink more water, hope you’re feeling better
Merry Christmas
