I recently got an abcess in my mouth on my lower gum. The dentist prescribed me amoxicillin 500mg and I took the entire prescription 2 days later it came back and my neck throat and mouth became very sore. Now Im on ciprofloxacin 500mg for about 4 days now swelling and pain have gone down drastically but now my throat feels very tight and it is a very uncomfortable feeling any idea what this throat closing feeling could be ?
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. The tightness of throat as you mention in query is due to one of the side effects of ciprofloxacin. I would suggest you to immediately consult your doctor for its dose alteration or for some substitution like azithromycin. Till then give warm compresses to throat. Do warm saline gargles and take Ben Chat Doctor.  Maintain proper oral hygiene by brushing and flossing. Do rinses with Betadine as well. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
