The most common include diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. These are usually mild and resolve without treatment. However, more serious reactions are possible, though rare.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Allergic reactions<\/strong> range from mild skin rashes to life-threatening anaphylaxis. Symptoms of anaphylaxis include difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, lips, or tongue, and a rapid heartbeat. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience these symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>Gastrointestinal issues beyond mild nausea or diarrhea may include severe stomach pain or bloody stools, indicating a possible serious complication. Contact your doctor immediately if this occurs.<\/p>\n<p>Amoxicillin can also affect your <strong>Liver<\/strong>. Jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes), dark urine, or unusual fatigue warrant immediate medical consultation. These could be signs of liver damage.<\/p>\n<p>Less frequent, but still possible, side effects include <strong>Headaches<\/strong>, dizziness, and changes in your taste. If these are severe or persistent, consult your doctor.<\/p>\n<p>Remember to inform your doctor about all medications you&#8217;re taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, before starting amoxicillin.
