What Causes Metallic Taste In Mouth While Suffering From Upper Respiratory Infection?
I have an upper respiratory infection and my doctor has put me on 500mg of biaxin. I ve been on it for 4 days now and today have a metallic taste in my mouth, plus I just had a spell of jittery anxious feeling. I did have a glass of red wine about 2 hours ago and just had a piece of toast. What is this. The jittery feeling is subsiding now. Should I continue to take this medication tomorrow and call my doctor on Monday or should I stop taking this?

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Continue to complete the course as advised by your doctor. Do not have wine as some medicine do interact with alcohol. Also have some antacids as GERD also cause these symptoms.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
