Does Prednisone Cause Swollen And Dry Tongue, Mouth Ulcers And Wheezing?
Hello, I have many health problems however I was currently given a Prednisone titration pack. Since taking this medication in the last three days, I have had an enlarged tongue that is dry and feels scalded. There are also ulcers in my cheeks. My throat is sore and I have a deep wheezing cough.
