Hello,

You have symptoms of numbness in the mouth after taking Azo which seems to be due to an allergic reaction to one of the in-gradient and it is very common and could be due to the depopulation of the papilla. Need not to worry. I would suggest you avoid this particular medication.

You should avoid intake of sharp and spicy food and do warm saline gargles. Maintain cleanliness of the oral cavity. Visit the general physician once if symptoms keep on persisting, and go for a proper course of antibiotics along with anti-inflammatory medications.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
