Hi,
Dicloxacillin is an antibiotic medication used to treat bacterial infections. It is not typically prescribed for the treatment of dry mouth and burning sensation in the tongue. These symptoms may be caused by a variety of conditions, such as dehydration, oral thrush, acid reflux, or medication side effects.
If you have been prescribed dicloxacillin for a bacterial infection, it is important to finish the full course of treatment as directed by your healthcare provider. However, if you are experiencing any concerning side effects or symptoms, it is best to consult with your healthcare provider before continuing with the medication. They may suggest an alternative medication or adjust your dosage.
If your symptoms of dry mouth and burning tongue persist or worsen, you should also consult with your healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment. They may refer you to a specialist such as a dentist or ENT (ear, nose, and throat) doctor for further evaluation and management.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
