What Causes Ulcers In The Mouth And Frequent Urination While On Ciprofloxacin?
Rubbed genitals with a lady and her vaginal fluid touched tip of my penis. Had high fever and slight night sweats two weeks after. Tested negative to hiv, vdrl but swab test saw heavy growth of staphtlococcus. Ciprofloxacin was prescribed and I have been taking it for about a week now but since then I have had ulcers in the mouth, weakness and stomach feels bloated rumbling heavily with urge to use the toilet sometimes up to twice every morning. What might this be?

Hello,
Ulcer mouths and stomach feeling bloated is due to alteration of gastrointestinal flora due to antibiotic use (ciprofloxacin).
Should take probiotics to stabilize intestinal flora. Take nystatin. Apply glycerin of borax for oral ulcers.
Discuss this further with the caring doctor as might need to stop taking ciprofloxacin and switch to another alternative.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
