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. These require urgent medical attention.
Severe or Uncommon Side Effects
Seek medical advice if you develop persistent diarrhea, especially if it’s watery or bloody, as this could indicate *Clostridium difficile* infection. Also, report any unusual bleeding or bruising, severe skin rash, yellowing of your skin or eyes (jaundice), dark urine, or persistent nausea or vomiting. These symptoms might indicate liver or blood problems.
Lack of Improvement or Worsening Symptoms
If your symptoms don’t improve after a few days of taking amoxicillin, or if they worsen, contact your doctor. This is especially true for infections like bronchitis, pneumonia, or sinusitis. Don’t delay; continuing treatment with an ineffective antibiotic can delay recovery and potentially lead to complications.
