What Causes Sore Mouth, Blood Blisters Inside Cheek Area When Taking Ceftin?
I have had oral side effects of two gout meds in the past, resulting in Stevens-Johnson syndrome. On Dec. 2nd I was seen for an URI/ Acute Asthmatic Bronchitis and was put on ceftin 500 Bid X Ten days. Near the end of the dosage I noticed sores in my mouth, lesion like areas and periodic blood blisters to the inside cheek area, it has continued after completion of the ATB. Swallowing is very painful. Am using 2 different oral rinses to help with the pain an for better oral hygiene. Every time I brush, the gums bleed, any advice?

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as you have bleeding while brushing it can be due to drug induced or due to periodontal problem.
Consult dentist and go for oral examination if any periodontal problem then go for scaling and currettage and if it is drug induced then go and consult your doctor for medication.
Hope this will help you.
Wishing you good health.
