Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have been out on Elewuis which has potential side effects of allergic reaction, swelling and pain in throat and soreness in mouth. It could be due to poor an dcompromised immunity of body. There is no need to worry about it. I would suggest you to drink plenty of water. Take diet rich in fluids. Take multivitamin tablet to booster immunity of oral cavity. Chew on few drops of lemon or put them in oral cavity to stimulate taste secretions. If your symptoms did not resolve in one week visit oral physician and get it examined properly and start treatment as per prescription. Do betadine gargles two times a day.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
