Oh my ! Long absence whilst fighting this virus....never known such a prolonged sore throat with associated symptoms. Sympathetic GP finally relented & prescribed antibiotics together with a steroid nasal spray & (hurrah!) pastilles to promote saliva. All fine until yesterday & onset of sore mouth & when I looked in the mirror, a black tongue !!. Whilst logically, I guess it's the penicillin made the tongue sore mixed with high dose of iron supplement. Least, I'm hoping that's all it is. Cos now it's Sunday... don't want to ring 111 as don't feel any worse other than the sore tongue. Will continue with penicillin & suspend use of iron supplement until I can speak to my GP practice tomorrow.
Just wanted to ask whether anyone had experienced the persistent sore throat as a result of taking Ramipril ?? I know it can give you a dry cough...
Meanwhile, I'm up for joining the All Blacks or available for Halloween parties !.....
