Contact your doctor immediately if you experience a severe allergic reaction. Symptoms include difficulty breathing, swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat, and hives.
Seek medical attention if your diarrhea is severe or bloody. This could indicate Clostridium difficile infection, a serious complication of antibiotic use. Persistent diarrhea lasting more than two days warrants a call to your doctor.
Monitor your symptoms closely. If your infection doesn’t improve after a few days of taking amoxicillin, or if it worsens, contact your physician. This is especially important for serious infections like pneumonia or kidney infections.
Pay attention to new or worsening symptoms. Amoxicillin can sometimes cause side effects like nausea, vomiting, or stomach pain. While mild discomfort is possible, increasing severity or the appearance of new symptoms requires a doctor’s evaluation. These might include jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes) or unusual bruising or bleeding.
