Hello! I've started a 7 day course of Chlarithromycin (Biaxin) for strep. Today is my second day and now I'm feeling an awful tingly/pins and needles sensation under my tongue!! It's bothering me really badly and I'm constantly aware of it. I don't know how I'm gonna fall asleep tonight. I'm really scared and concerned because I can't find any information about this. It's not listed in the side effects. What do I do? I'm scared that it might be permanent

    Give it 2 days to pass and if it doesnt speak to your dentist about options, make sure you always speak to your doctor or dentist. Its possible its an early sign of infection decrease. The pins and needles effect should not be around for long and its a good sign the antibiotic is working.
