Sore tongue?? Seriously!?!
Question: Sore tongue.?.? Seriously!.?
In the last 2 months I have been on 2 different runs of antibiotics (due to leaking amniotic fluid) I have also stopped taking folic acid and prenatal vitimins.. The last week my tongue is yellowish, cracked and has red bumps down the middle.. Could I have picked up and infection from the antibiotics.? Or be lacking in nutrients.? I know I should go to my DR but cant get in for 3 weeks and this really sucks......what could it be and are there any over the counter fixes.? All help appreciated..Health Question & Answer
Answers:
Courses of antibiotics can sometimes cause yeast infections in different areas of the body.. You sound as if you have a yeast infection of the tongue, otherwise called Thrush.. Babies sometimes get this also.. You need to offset this with good bacteria found in yogurt.. If you had a yeast infection in your vagina, you would get the over the counter medications available, so this is just at the other end of your physical body.. THis condition can also be called candida albicans.. also if you have a health food store nearby, they can give you some capsules to take (must be refrigerated) to help with this restoration of good bacteria as your antibiotics have just killed off everything in a widespread effort to help you.. This will definitely help you until you can see someone.. Do this today, you do not want this Thrush spreading down your throat!Health Question & Answer
OK even though you have to wait for your doctor, this could be worst then you are thinking.. I would recommend going to the urgent care or if none around go to the ER.. Its always safe then srry especially when you are pregnant.. And I would not recommend anything over the counter becouse you dont know what the side effects may be from whatever you have.. Go to the Hospital asap.. Good luck..Health Question & Answer
The question is -- why can't you get to the Dr.. in less than three weeks.? I am sorry you lost the baby.. Your medical needs do not stop, and the OB/GYN will probably still be willing to see you..Health Question & Answer
