Can h pylori antibiotic course develop ulcers and other oral problems?

[aak001]

I have finished my two weeks h pylori antibiotic course last week two days latter I have noticed that I have developed mouth ulcers and a hairy like tongue. I was told by a friend that this is very normal after having along and strong antibiotic course? Can someone help me please?

It's not exactly normal, but it is something that can happen depending on what antibiotics you were given and your body's reaction to the alteration of the GI flora. You may have to treat the problem. I'd suggest you check back with your doc.

i was using Amoxicillin for over two weeks. i never had this problem before.

I have read that Amoxicillin can cause this problem because it kills the entire flora that’s in your mouth and digestive system. Can somebody please confirm this to me?

yes antibiotics kill good bacteria as well, which do lve in the mouth. Try eating some yogurt everyday to replenish the good bacteria. Activia is a good yogurt to try.

Thank you very much for your comment I would also like to ask I have always had hair like things in the middle of my tongue but after this antibiotic course they grow more especially in the back near the tonsils. How long do you think it is going to last?

I have read that CANDEX is good for my symptoms. The doctor told me that it’s not a big issue it’s just that I feel disgusted very time I look at my tongue.  Can somebody help me on this guys.
