Your high blood sugar readings are actually being driven up by the active infection itself. Please do not self-adjust your Cetapin (metformin) or start new medications without medical supervision. I highly recommend contacting your prescribing doctor immediately to safely adjust your diabetes treatment to bring your levels down. Meanwhile, please continue taking your Enzoflam, Metrogyl, and Polyclav exactly as prescribed; clearing this dental infection is a key step to helping your blood sugar levels return to a safe range.

Yes, you can use these together, but with a few adjustments to avoid irritating your skin. Saslic face wash (salicylic acid) is excellent for clearing pores. However, both Femcinol A (clindamycin) and Metrogyl (metronidazole) are antibacterial treatments. Using both at the same time can cause dryness. To prevent irritation, try using Saslic wash daily, then apply Metrogyl gel in the morning and Femcinol A gel at night. Always follow up with a non-comedogenic moisturizer and sunscreen. If your skin becomes red or flaky, reduce usage and consult your dermatologist.

It is very common to experience a sore throat after a root canal. This discomfort is often caused by keeping your mouth open for an extended period, minor irritation from dental instruments, or the local anesthetic injection. While Ketorol DT (ketorolac) helps with pain and Metrogyl (metronidazole) fights infection, the localized tissue swelling in your throat may take a few days to fully heal. To help soothe your throat, try warm salt water rinses, stay well-hydrated, and eat soft, cool foods. Please contact your dentist if the pain worsens, or if you develop a fever or severe difficulty swallowing.

Do not start Metrogyl (metronidazole) on your own. Metrogyl is an antibiotic and is not the correct treatment for a colitis flare-up unless a specific infection is confirmed. Stopping your colitis medications can cause your inflammation to return. Keeping your colitis in remission is very important for a healthy pregnancy. Please contact your gastroenterologist or obstetrician right away. They can prescribe pregnancy-safe medications to safely calm this inflammation and relieve your symptoms.

Hello. I understand how frustrating it must be to deal with these persistent patches for two years. Yes, certain stomach or digestive issues can cause nutrient deficiencies (like B vitamins or iron), which sometimes lead to sores or patches at the corners of the mouth. Regarding your medications, Metrogyl gel (metronidazole) and Zytee (choline salicylate) are not the standard treatments for this. While Zytee can temporarily soothe discomfort, it won't cure the underlying cause, which is often fungal or nutritional. I highly recommend visiting a doctor or dermatologist so they can safely examine these patches and find the right targeted treatment for you.

Since your symptoms started after traveling, it is very common to develop Post-Infectious Irritable Bowel Syndrome (PI-IBS). Even though your stool tests are normal and you finished Metrogyl, your gut's nerves and muscles can remain highly sensitive and uncoordinated for months after an infection. This inflammation can cause straining, mucus, and a feeling of incomplete emptying. I highly recommend discussing these ongoing symptoms with a gastroenterologist. They can guide you on pelvic floor health, dietary adjustments, or gentle therapies to help your bowel regain its natural, healthy rhythm.
