When to Consult a Doctor: Recognizing Serious Symptoms and Seeking Medical Advice

Contact your doctor immediately if you experience a severe allergic reaction, including difficulty breathing, swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat, or hives. These symptoms require urgent medical attention.

Persistent or worsening diarrhea should also prompt a call to your physician. Severe or bloody diarrhea indicates a possible serious complication requiring immediate evaluation and treatment.

If you notice yellowing of your skin or eyes (jaundice), this is a sign of liver problems and needs immediate medical assessment. Don’t delay seeking help.

Unusual bruising or bleeding also warrants a doctor’s visit. This could signal a blood clotting issue, requiring prompt diagnosis and management.

High fever, persistent vomiting, or severe abdominal pain requires immediate medical attention. These symptoms may indicate a serious infection or other health problem.

If your symptoms don’t improve or worsen after completing the prescribed course of Augmentin, schedule a follow-up appointment with your doctor. They can reassess your treatment plan.
