For those that have had to take strong antibiotics, have they ever caused to you to have a horrible taste in your mouth?
I'm on Biaxin XL 500mg - 2 pills, once a day (1000mgs per day total). Every time I breathe out I taste it, and if I cough it's even worse.
I still have 4 days worth of doses left and each day of taking it the taste gets worse.
Is there anything that can help or at least lessen the taste some? I am eating yogurt to prevent other problems it can cause.
I can't call my doctor, his office is closed Friday-Sunday.
Also, I can't stop taking them without consulting the doctor. Whatever this cold is, it has really settled into my respiratory. Just last night I had a 20+ minute non stop coughing fit that left me dizzy on the floor.
Poor Sho got tired of hearing me and left the room, but Tomas was a sweetheart and came over and mewed at me questioningly.
And just wondering... Does anyone else have a really hard time shaking colds/flu that most people get over in a week or two?
Common colds and flu have always turned into bronchial infections, take forever to go away, or turn into pneumonia like the flu did a few years ago.
