 [ Symptoms ] bacterial infection and possible mono in throat   puss  i went to doctor and confirmed bacterial infection on left side of my throat and possible mono my question however is regarding the puss there is a lot of white puss and i was wondering if its safe to try to remove it [ Disease ] do not know much about the calcium stuff but my doc put me on carafate it helps heal all the ulcers created by the reflux but it does wonders for your tummy too they are huge and you have to take 4 a day but once you feel how much better you can feel its worth it
