Amoxicillin effectively combats a range of bacterial infections. It’s frequently prescribed for ear infections (otitis media), particularly in children. This antibiotic also tackles respiratory tract infections like bronchitis and pneumonia, caused by susceptible bacteria.
Skin and Urinary Tract Infections
Amoxicillin is a useful treatment for skin infections such as impetigo and cellulitis. Additionally, it’s often used to treat uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by susceptible E. coli and other bacteria. Always consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment, as amoxicillin’s effectiveness depends on the specific bacteria causing the infection.
Other Applications
Amoxicillin may also be used in treating certain types of dental infections and some sexually transmitted infections. Remember, antibiotic use should always follow a doctor’s recommendation. Self-treating can be dangerous and may lead to antibiotic resistance.
