What Causes Burning Sensation In The Throat After Taking Clarithromycin?
i recently had flu which resulted in a sinus infection. I have taken 2 pills of clarithromycin 500mg(12 hours apart). I started feeling like I needed to cough phlem which turned into an excessive amount of coughing which made me feel like my throat was swelling up. I turned completely white and felt a burning sensation in my throat like it was obstructing my airway. My breath was fast and difficult for me to breath and lasted about 10 minutes.. I took a benadyl 25 mg and tried to calm down. now I am not coughing but feel a burning in my throat which I am now sucking on ice. Could this be a reaction to antibiotic?
it is being oral broad spectrum antibiotic taking in empty stomach and without vit bcomplex can cause hyper acidity can cause burning in throat. so should be taken with vitbcomplex and after food.
