Suggest Treatment For Burning Pain In Gums And Ear Pain
My gums have been hurting with referred pain for a few months. I recently have been experiencing severe burning in my gums and ear pain. I have had a virus, but this was present prior. I am on my second day of a 5 day regimen of Azithromycin, I am allergic to Penicillin. My temp has been around 100 F. What can I do to eleviate the pain. I have taken Sudefed, done nasal rinses, rinsed with Chlorahexadine..??

Hi
With your query, since you have mentioned you have virus I mean viral infection it might be herpetic gingivo stomatitis or ulcers. Coming to the medication you are on are for palliative and not to cause any secondary infection. So if you still have temperature don worry it wil come down in a week or ten days by which even your burning sensation will com down. Always be well hydrated and if burning sensation persists consult your oral physician/ medicine specialist.make you don't have any adverse habits
