Contact your doctor immediately if you experience a severe allergic reaction, including hives, swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat, or difficulty breathing. These are signs of a serious allergic reaction and require immediate medical attention.
Seek medical advice if your symptoms don’t improve after a few days of taking amoxicillin/clavulanate. Persistent or worsening symptoms could indicate the antibiotic isn’t effective against your infection.
Call your doctor if you develop new symptoms while on the medication, such as diarrhea that’s watery or bloody, or severe stomach pain. These can be signs of Clostridium difficile infection, a serious complication.
Report any signs of liver problems, such as yellowing of your skin or eyes (jaundice), dark urine, or unusual fatigue. Liver damage is a rare but possible side effect.
If you experience unusual bleeding or bruising, contact your doctor. This could suggest a problem with your blood clotting.
Always inform your doctor about any medications you’re taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, before starting amoxicillin/clavulanate. Drug interactions can occur.
Finally, if you have any concerns or questions about your medication or treatment, don’t hesitate to contact your doctor for clarification.
