When to Consult a Doctor

Contact your doctor immediately if you experience a severe allergic reaction, characterized by difficulty breathing, swelling of your face, lips, or tongue, or hives. Seek immediate medical attention; this is a medical emergency.

Persistent or Worsening Symptoms

If your symptoms don’t improve after 7 days of taking Amoxicillin, or if they worsen, schedule a doctor’s appointment. This includes persistent cough, fever, or skin rash. Don’t delay seeking medical advice if you feel your condition is deteriorating.

New Symptoms

Report any new symptoms that appear while you’re taking Amoxicillin. This could include diarrhea, severe stomach pain, or unusual bruising. Your doctor needs to know about these developments to assess your treatment and adjust it accordingly.

Medication Interactions

Always inform your doctor about all other medications you’re taking, including over-the-counter drugs, herbal remedies, and supplements. Some medications may interact negatively with Amoxicillin.

Pregnancy or Breastfeeding

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, discuss Amoxicillin use with your physician before starting treatment. Your doctor will help determine if this antibiotic is safe for you and your baby.
