Hi I have been advise that I have pneumonia Im on amoxicillin and hydrocodone as well as albuterol. I have recently began to have severe upper gum pain in my mouth. I cant eat or drink without severe pain. Should I discontinue my medicine or is this normal since my fevers where 101-103? Please advise. Thank you
Hello, thank you for consulting with Chat Doctor. As such there are no evidence that pneumonia or Chat Doctor. But there is a possibility that because of high fever you are unable to clean your mouth, teeth and gums, which is causing inflammation of gums and that is why they are painful. Till you visit your dentist for oral prophylaxis or cleaning do mouth washes and gargle with warm salty water, as it will solve your problem. Hope it will help you.
