A member asked:
Could a possible allergy to cough medicine be causing toothache/mouth and throat problems?
4 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Maybe: An allergy to a substance that you take orally can cause the tissues in the mouth to be red, swollen, or painful. An allergy can also cause the surface tissue to slough away which may be painful as well. If you have "tooth aches" that is most likely due to a tooth problem rather than an allergy. Either way you should see a dentist to make sure there is no problems with your teeth or gums.

Well...: No to tooth aches. Yes to throat: if your airway is constricted due to anaphylaxis it could be a problem!

Depends: What do you mean by problems? If you have any questions relating to medications you've taken you should consult a pharmacist or the prescribing doctor. A severe allergy is a serious issue that can close your throat and impair breathing.
