But I am also on two lots of antibiotics for a bad stomach infection?? I have a sore throat too?? Any of these related?? Many thanks
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint a bad taste in mouth with a medical history of taking antibiotics seems related as the bad taste in mouth is a common side effect of taking antibiotics and as the antibiotic intake will stop gradually the taste in mouth will become normal. Sore throat can be due to either viral throat infection [bacterial infection is not probable as you are already on antibiotics] or can be due t aid reflux caused due to antibiotic intake as antibiotics can cause hyperacidity and acid reflux which in turn cause sore throat. You should chew flavored sugar-free chewing gums, do warm saline gargles, steam inhalations, can anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen and avoid spicy food. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor.
