Does Bicillin Cause Tender And Bleeding Gums?
I received a shot of bicillin about a week ago, and around the same time by gums have become very tender and blees when I brush my teeth. I have no history of gingivitis and see my dentist every 6 months and believe my gums are healthy. Could the bleeding gums be caused by the antibiotic?

Hi ... Bicillin means it has penicillin
.this antibiotic is used in sever infection cases. So let me knew for what reason you are taking this antibiotic.and some times penicillin cause allergic reaction like itching .swollen face. Asthama attack etc . so consult your doctor who has prescribe you this medicine.and check your gums by dentist ..because bleeding gums can be related to plaque so by routine oral prophylaxis this will be cured..
