Stop taking amoxicillin immediately. Contact your doctor or seek medical attention right away.
Note any symptoms you are experiencing. Write down the time they started, how severe they are, and any other relevant information. This helps your doctor diagnose the problem. Common reactions include rash, hives, itching, swelling, and difficulty breathing. Less common, but serious, reactions include severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis).
If you experience difficulty breathing, swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat, or any other signs of a severe allergic reaction, call emergency services immediately. This is a medical emergency requiring prompt treatment.
Your doctor may suggest an alternative antibiotic. Be sure to discuss your reaction fully, including the specifics of your symptoms and the timing of their onset. They will advise you on the best course of action.
Keep a record of all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements. Share this information with your doctor to help them assess any potential drug interactions.
Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully. This includes taking any prescribed medication as directed and attending any follow-up appointments.
