(OK first of all - yes, the antibiotics are necessary - believe me, I would not be on them otherwise! I got an infection on my finger and quickly developed red streaks up my finger and going up my arm... not really something I wanted to wait and see if anything else would work, lol)<br><br>
I'm on Cloxacillin, 4 times a day, for a week. This is day 3. I have a GROSS taste in my mouth almost all the time now, except when I am actually eating. The antibiotic has to be taken on an empty stomach - 2 hours after food and 1 hour before food - so there's always a 3-hour window where I can't eat anything. In other words, eating all the time to avoid the gross taste isn't an option.<br><br>
Is there anything I can do to get rid of this problem?
