and I nearly chocked
Brief Answer:
Side effect of tramadol
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query
One of the side effect of Tramadol is dryness of mouth and throat. Please enquire with the prescribing doctor if the dosage of the tramadol can be reduced or if another painkiller can be given instead of tramadol.
Tramadol is an effective painkiller with a good side effect profile compared to NSAIDs so if I were to be your prescribing doctor I would keep the tramadol and reduce the dosage to 50mg at night.
I also recommend you get your random blood sugar and thryroid profile tested as diabetes and thryroid dysfunction are the common causes for dryness of the throat.
My further suggestions to you are
1. Keep yourself well hydrated, drink atleast 4-6 glasses of water per day
2. Vit C chewable tablets are excellent for symptomatic relief of the dryness of throat
3. Approach an ENT specialist if the dryness of the throat continues
I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
Regards
