Suggest Treatment For A Sore On The Tongue And Backache
Hello, i've been prescribed antibiotics for a urine infection last Thursday and on Sunday I begn to feel ill. I'm not sire if it's the antibiotics or if I'm just generally run down but I have a really painful canker sore on the side of my Tongue which is making chewing and swallowing hard and makes me talk funny. I also generally feel unwell and have a really achey neck and upper back with hyper sensitivity on the skin there. I don't want to bother my doctor for an appointment if I'm just a bit run down. What should I do?

Hello thanks for writing in to us at HCM.
some antibitics have a side effect of making the tongue sore and coated.
If there are mouth ulcers you can use a (choline salicylate) mouth gel for relief.
Antibiotics can give metallic taste ,nausea and a general weakness. Quite possible you have a viral infection.
Dont worry kindly take the antibiotic medications and keep drinking lots of fluids.
Syrup Disodium Hydrogen Citrate 15ml in a glass of water thrice a day can help neutralise the infection.

Dr.Riyanka
