Bitterness, often referred to as a metallic taste in the mouth, is one of the side effects of the antibiotic Fromilid. Often this symptom is observed by patients shortly after the start of antibiotic therapy. The unpleasant aftertaste in the mouth should disappear after the end of antibiotic therapy. It does not require any special treatment. However, it is worth using mouthwashes, ensuring proper hydration of the body and proper oral hygiene. If the bitter taste in the mouth does not disappear after the end of therapy, or there is severe diarrhoea and/or vomiting, consult a doctor. A bitter taste in the mouth may be a symptom of some diseases such as reflux, cholelithiasis, oral mycosis, periodontitis or inflammation of the liver. A bitter taste in the mouth does not always have to mean illness or be the result of taking medication. It is important to supplement appropriate probiotics when taking antibiotics and chemotherapeutic agents to rebuild the intestinal microbiome. In addition, the probiotic helps to reduce the occurrence of side effects in the form of, for example, diarrhea.
