As a pharmacist, I can only provide general information:
Burning sensations in the lips, mouth, throat and chest can be associated with a number of factors, including side effects from medications such as Pylera (which contains the compound bismuth, an antibiotic and chemotherapeutic agent with bactericidal action used to treat stomach ulcers).
If this happens, you should inform your doctor about these symptoms. Only a doctor can assess what is causing the above symptoms and decide what to do next. Do not change your dose or stop taking your medication on your own without talking to your doctor. If you are not able to take advantage of the advice, I am attaching a link to the online teleconsultation, e.g. via the Gdziepolek.pl portal:
