Update on Black Tongue

[robinem 0]

I went to the dr. today, and she said my black tongue was due to Thrush, which is due to the antiboitic I'm on, which is due to the cellutitis infection I have at my port site.

I now have some sort of rinse I need to use three times a day.

Thanks for your thoughts and input!

Wow, I was wondering what the outcome was. Well, I guess I'm happy that they know what happened and have a plan to fix it! Good luck!

Yikes! I'm happy you are getting that fixed.

I am going thru an antibiotic PH imbalance myself but it turned into a yeast type infection down stairs w/out actually being yeast...itchy burning horrid past week.

My advice to all who read this if you have to take antibiotics my Dr says to eat yogurt w/ live cultures in it. Apparently it helps and I will defiantly be doing it from now on!

My Mom swears by yogurt when on any antibiotic. She gets a yeast infection everytime if she doesn't. And thrush is a yeast infection of the mouth I believe. I can only imagine it wasn't fun. I hope you are feeling better soon

Oh you poor thing! Celulitus AND thrush?

Yes, thrush is a yeast infection in your mouth. You can even get yeast infections in/on your skin!

Make sure your yogurt has active live cultures, and possibly subliment with acidophilous milk or capsles.
