I have been taking bicillin injections for about 6 weeks now and also was just started on Monodox last week. Within the last 2 weeks I have developed a burning on my lips and redness. Has anyone else every experienced this or know what I should do? Thanks in advance.

First thing... be sure you aren't being exposed to carbon monoxide from some source in your home or vehicle or work place. It can cause those kinds of symptoms. Be REAL sure!!!! Then double check and triple check.

I have had that happen, but I can not attribute it to the meds you spoke of because I wasn't on them. In fact, I have no clue what caused it, but it was very noticeable and a bit annoying too.

It came and went with no special intervention. The good thing is it "went".

Hope that is the same for you!

I have never taken the meds you mention, but I had this happen with Septra. If they are related, could be an allergic reaction?

I was going to say allergy, too.

My daughters ears got very read and burning when she took Bactrim. She was on her last day of treatment before they got real bad. It went away so we assumed allergy.
