History...had sore throat for couple weeks, then chest congestion fever, body aches and total weakness about 5 days. Cough and chestcongestion began at this time had already been on Augmrntiin for 10 days. Dr. Said viral bronchitis, gave steroid, inhaler and med for cough. Between 2-3 weeks After dr. Visit cough and chest pressure got worse. Dr. Said X-ray machine turned off for day but it could be walking pneumonia and if conditions worsened or didn’t improve in another 3 weeks to see family Doctor again. He gave me Z-pack and now 1 week later cough and chest pressure still bothersome. New symptom throat, tongue and lips are stinging and burning too. Also diarrhea much of this time, sometimes severe. Can take Imodium to control that, but how do I relieve painful tongue, lips and throat. Whew....hope this makes sense, feeling kind of miserabl.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It looks like you have Apthous Stomatitis that is inflammation of mouth and tongue.

It can be due to side effects of medicines like antibiotics that you are taking and along with it, stomach upset can also be a cause.

You should start gargling with specialised mouthwash like Magic mouthwash. Suck Cepacol lozenges.

Do cool water rinses and suck ice pops. Take Vitamin B complex supplements daily.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
