Is Tongue Swelling A Side Effect Of Taking Doxycycline And Amoxicillin Together?
Hi. I was stung twice by a bee or wasp on Tues. EveNing. By Wed the swelling was moving up the calf some. Got into my Dr. She said it was infected. She put me on doxycycline. I was already taking amoxicill for sale sinus infection from the week before. I am nauseous, dizzy and have a hearacheck. Those things I can deal with but it feels like my tongue is slightly swollen and that scares me. I can swallow water and food and can breathe fine but it feels bigger than it normally is.
I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..
As per your complain swelling over the tongue along with nausea and dizziness after taking Doxycycline is due to allergic reaction or side effects of the Doxycycline.. As you have been already taking Amoxicillin without any side effects you can continue taking it as it will also help in clearing the infection at sting site.. As of now stop taking Doxycycline and consult with your Physician.. You can also take anti allergics like Levocetrizine to reduce swelling from tongue..
Hope this helps..
Regards.
