I had fever and joint pains so I had taken ?olo650 and dolowin after every 7-8 hrs as per doctors prescription. After 3 days, there are cuts all over my tongue, lips, gums, everywhere in my mouth. Tonsils are also there. I'm not able to eat anything. Is it due to the medicines? ## It is possible, since most medications can cause mouth irritation, and dry mouth. The U.S. FDA lists other typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding, and stomach irritation. However, the best thing to do would be to consult your physician to be sure that is all that is going on. Do you eat a lot of acidic foods? Are you on any other medications?

Ok so I had gotten a fever one morning and the day before I felt really drained of energy. then I got some little white sores on my tongue and my gums had become swollen and extremely sensitive, so much that i hurt to brush me teeth and to even eat. i went to the clinic to see what is wrong, i was tested for strep and mono but both tests came back negative. the doctor said it was just viral and to just take ibuprofen or Tylenol for the pain. well it had gotten worse so i went back and the new doctors said that i had the virus herpes simplex but did not say specifically which one. anyways she gave me a prescription on acyclovir to take for 10 days. the medication worked but now i noticed that my gums above my wisdom teeth are still very swollen and have a sort of flap on them. could all ...

Supposed to start hep c treatment next week and my viral load has increased since having this yrs over 65 yr olds flu vaccine. Anybody heard of this happening? I really dont know if it's worth doing treatment. I don't feel sick but was recently diagnosed with copd which is very tiring even without taking something else on top. Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks ## According to medical literature, my understanding is that flu-vaccinations can increase one's viral load (temporarily). It is therefore suggested that patients do not measure their viral load within 4 weeks of any vaccination. Please note that my research was based off HIV viral loads and also noted as a "general" statement attributed to flu-shots, but not necessarily specific to Hep C. To be 100% sure, i...
