Any docs in the house?

Don't want to waste the doctor's time just yet, buuuut...

Just over a week ago I finished a week-long course of antibiotics for a gum/wisdom tooth problem - nothing major. Since coming off them, I notice my tongue has got that horrid white'ish furry covering to it, which although not too harrowing, doesn't look that great and leaves a bit of a metallic taste in the mouth.

Is this something that crops up as a result of antibiotics?

(And yes, I've already checked Google, but it says I have bad AIDS)

I'll say it before someone else does.

Sounds like a sudden onset of 'Bad Aids'. Whatever your symptoms are, they are exactly the same as 'Bad Aids'. I'm afraid it's terminal. Also be aware that approximately a week before death you will continue to void your bowels non-stop.

HTH

ETA I am a doctor......

I've got laminate flooring, though?

if your Kn*b is red too then its defo "bad aids".....

...and get some Fluconazole then.

Thanks for all the replies. A trip to Boots looks in order; I was hoping scalding tea and a Mach 3 was going to be the cure, but I guess not.

As long as your tongue isn't brown.

Cmon,

FFS Man up and cut it off.

I' no doctor but Rach is the oral expert. So would suggest her advice is good.`
