Suggest Treatment For Sores On Lips While On Biaxin

Question: I am on Biaxin and have developed sores on my lips . They are like Cankers . They hurt. I have stopped the drug. My tongue feels strange. What can I do to relieve the pain?
Brief Answer:
Viractin or Zilactin-L
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Biaxin should not be the cause for it.
If it is confirmed to be canker sore you can just apply Viractin or Zilactin-L which are available as over the counter medicines. They help to relieve the pain.
If there is active herpes then zovirax ointment is helpful, this is anti herpes medication.
I think you should just try Viractin or zilactin L first and you do not need prescription for this.
All the best.
