dry white tongue treatment
Posted: 04-15-08 09:19am

Hello,

I have been having problems with my tongue. It has been dry and white for the past two weeks now and nothing seems to help.

I went to my dentist and then a specialist and they perscribed me amoxicilin. I took this for a week but it did not help me. The doctor said that dues to the H-plori acids rising up this causes my tongue to whiten and dry out. But after taking this medication nothing helped.

Would you have any advice for me?

Thank You

Amoxicillin is an antibiotic. It can be used for eradication of Helicobacter pillory but together with Claritromicin (or Metronidasole) and some proton pump blocker (Omeprasole, lansoprasole...) - so called triple therapy. Did you make Helicobacter pilory blood test? Do you have any stomach difficulties or burning sensations behind the sternum?
