Today, I start using the antibiotic mouth rinse.

I have to use it twice daily for three weeks. I'm not allowed to eat or drink anything for at least 30 minutes after using it, not even water, even though I'm told it tastes like a**. Apparently, rinsing with water will only increase the bitter taste. Oh, joy. Guess I'll go brush, drink a large glass of water then give it a whirl.

EDIT: That wasn't so bad. The way the lady at the pharmacy went on about it, I expected it to taste like stinky feet that had been in the litter box or something. All it really tasted like was diluted mouthwash with a tiny bit of a medicine-y aftertaste. I waited over an hour then had a chocolate pudding cup. It did taste a little bitter, but nothing horrible. Let's hope it doesn't get worse over time.
