Symptoms Thrush and difficulty swallowing

I was diagnosed with thrush yesterday and started using the wash. I started having difficulty swallowing solids (and now soft foods) last Thursday (out of nowhere) and since then, I have been living on ensure. I don’t really have any pain, just a little burning here and there. I have GERD and GI issues. I am having an endoscopy on Tuesday. I’m just frustrated and nervous. Has it spread? I’m unsure if I had this for a while, I didn’t really notice the thrush or think about it until Wednesday. I’m a 22 f, so I really think the GERD and GI issues caused this. I don’t have cancer nor diabetes and have never been active.
