Hi Murphy,

Yes, I have experienced that while taking Biaxin two years ago for a strep throat. I did take the medicine for the full time prescribed, but my mouth and seemingly throat was very irritated with sores.

At the end of the treatment,I did go back to m internist because I thought I might have monilia (I have had that before while taking a sulfa drug). He said that it was not yeast nor an allergic reaction, but a reaction caused by the antibiotic.

It probably is best to contact your doctor asap to determine what to do next.

As a result, my LLMD and I decided that he would prescribe Zithromax instead. There is no sense in looking for trouble or suffering needlessly.

Hope this is of help and you are feeling better real soon.

Debbie
