Contact your doctor immediately if you experience a severe allergic reaction. Symptoms include hives, swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat, and difficulty breathing. These require urgent medical attention.
Seek medical advice if your symptoms don’t improve after a week of taking the medication, or if they worsen. This could indicate the infection isn’t responding to the amoxicillin, or a different issue is present. Don’t delay treatment.
Serious Side Effects Requiring Immediate Attention
While rare, some serious side effects necessitate immediate medical help. These include:
| Severe diarrhea | Watery or bloody stools, severe abdominal cramps – this could be Clostridium difficile associated diarrhea. |
| Jaundice (yellowing of skin or eyes) | Indicates possible liver problems. |
| Unusual bleeding or bruising | Suggests a potential blood clotting disorder. |
| Severe skin reactions | Such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis. These are serious skin conditions that require hospitalization. |
When to Monitor and Contact Your Doctor
