Re: prednizone side effects

[Guest guest]

Hi Rhoda,

I haven't had that problem, but it sounds like an allergic reaction. Did it

just start or does it always happen? What's the doc say?

are you sure that your tongue swelling is not an allergic re-action to

something. the reason i ask is that it does not matter which medication I'm

put on my mouth breaks out w/canker sores and the back of my tongue swells.

sometimes more so than others. I have a friend whose daughter has severe

asthma and allergies and she keeps " vitamin c powder " I think its 1/8th of

a teaspoon in a glass of pepsi.(we have found that ,this is the best way it

goes down) usually if you put it in anything else it tastes nasty. the c

counters the allergic reaction. it has to be vitamin c powder, and it can't

be a vitamin c tablet crushed. somehow it loses something doing that..GOOD

LUCK!!!

Hi rhoda,

Any white patches or furry look to your tongue?? = yeast infection...Any

sores or ulcerations?? could be stomatis - inflammation of the mouth.

Either one can be cause by your immune system be suppressed from the

prednisone. Both are treatable - keep us posted with what the doc says &

stay away from the spicy or acidy foods (citrus esp.) until it goes away.

Best of luck,

Tina

I think Tina meant an allergic reaction to the prednisone, Rhoda. I'm glad

it's not the Indian food, too. I'd feel blue if I couldn't eat my saag

anymore.

Have you called your doctor? Please do if you haven't. Swelling of the

tongue, throat, or about the face is usually a serious sign of a drug

reaction.

Actually the tongue swelling and other symptoms could be

an allergic reaction to the drug or the food or some

other thing - a very severe allergic reaction. I am not

sure I would wait until tomorrow. Reactions tend to get

more severe and not better - if you are exposed another

time. I don't mean to be alarmist - but please don't

shrug this off - we care about you!!
