A member asked:
Tested positive for syphilis & got one penicillin injection july 1, 14 days now most signs are gone. still some tongue discolor. how long to be normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Syphilis: I know I am the second to respond to this. But, My concern is that a discoloration of the tongue could be other things. Your physician will, at this point, know your syphilis antibodies count and will know if they need to retreat you or just follow with a repeat test in three months. But, if the tongue issue does not resolve you may want your dentist to take a look as well.
