Had An Abscess On Buttocks And Staph Infection. Will MRSA Cause Sores On Tongue And Gums?
My Grandson just had an abscess lanced on his butt, The doctor said that is was a staph infection but did not tell us what kind of staph infection although I believe that it is MRSA . He also has multiple sores on his tongue and his gums are very red. He is taking 2 antibiotics, bactrim and keflex, while also taking tylenol with codeine . Will MRSA cause the sores on his tongue and red gums? Will the medicine he is taking cause either of these? He has only been on the meds for 24 hours. He has to return to the doctor tomorrow to remove the packing from the incision. How concerned to I need to be for the sores on his tongue and red gums. His appetite has certainly dropped.
HELLO, Sore tongue as well as red gums may be due to-staph.infection arised due to poor oral hygiene maintenance. Get your teeth cleaned. Maintain oral hygiene well. Use chlorhexidine mouthrinses to gargle. Take plenty of fluids as well as nutritious diet. Vitamin c,iron supplements has to be administered. Take care.
