Suggest Treatment For Severe Cough And Restless Leg Syndrome
I just got over pneumonia where I was prescribed antibiotics, prednisone, mucenix dm, an inhaler and cough syrup. over the 1 1/2 weeks my beautiful teeth have begun to turn black or seem to be losing their enamel. I have also recently been prescribed Sinemet for severe restless leg syndrome. Could any of these medications be causing this?
If you used tetracycline it may be the cause of staining teeth. Also, antihistamines may contribute to staining teeth, you may have taken them with cough syrup. I think it will improve as organism cleans the medications out.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
