Caused a Doctor Visit!!

I’m a Colgate girl, but this was on sale, and I thought I’d try the Arm & Hammer Advance White Extreme Whitening. Didn’t like the taste, but I figured I’d get used to it. It sort of burned, but I thought- ah, that’s probably good…it’s doing its thing. About a week in, and it’s crazy. My bottom lip swelled so much that I couldn’t close my mouth. It hurt to move my tongue. The insides of my cheeks, gums, under my tongue, the area behind my lips and my entire tongue are burning! I have red spots everywhere inside my mouth. It got so bad that I went to the doctor today. Blood work all perfect. Doc said some kind of allergic reaction but unsure what, as we went over everything I ate and drank. Never dawned on me that a new toothpaste would be the cause! Then I google my symptoms and see a blurb about toothpaste- this one in particular. I found all of these reviews like mine, and I was floored to see how bad it was. I am now on steroids for a week, and they’re sending more blood work out to rule everything out. Told the doctor what I found about A&H, and she said stop using this. I just pray that it gets better because this pain sucks! Only good thing is that it hurts to eat, so maybe I’ll lose a couple pounds! It is insane that this is still being sold. Some of these reviews date back 8 years!
