 2  Infected lymph node/ear ache vomiting, dizziness, headache, altered taste It did immediately stop the ear ache, but after only two days, the side effects were so bad I had to stop taking it. The ear ache was much easier to tolerate than how sick this drug made me feel. The vomiting stopped right away but two days after stopping the medication I'm still having the remaining side effects! F 37 2 days

 4  Strep throat and sinusitis Stomach cramps, bloating, lethargy, depression. I'm on day 4 and it has cleared up my strep throat and my sinuses are clear too. I've been taking lots of pro-biotics and yakult. I find I get more tired than usual right after I eat on this so small meals are best. Sometimes you forget that you're feeling down as a side effect of the drug, so it's good to realise that you will feel better once you finish the course. M 27 4 days

 2  reoccurring strep Burning, itching and swelling of hands and feet after one day of taking the drug. I want to warn anyone who develops a rash, burning, swelling or itching of the skin to go to the E.R. immediately. These are signs of an allergic reaction, which can lead to anaphalactic shock if not treated immediately. Stop taking Augmentin if any of these side effects occur and if you can't get to the ER right away, take benydryl. F 28 1 days

 1  cat scratch-needed stiches I took Augmentin for 2 1/2 days until I started noticing a mild rash..I also experienced mild diarrhea..the doctor told me to stop taking Augmentin...then 4 days later after not taking augmentin I broke out in hives...from head to toe,,,each day kept getting worse and worse..today is the first day I am feeling a little better(8th day after not taking Augmentin)..I had to take Prednisone to help with the rash and hives... This was one of the worst feelings in my life...I had to go to the ER three times and then ended up having to take Prednisone to help with the rash...the itching is unbelievable....The crazy thing about it is the rash and hives started getting worse few days after I stopped taking the medicine... F 24 2 days

 5  Sinus Infection Severe stomach cramps (constant) and diarrhea When this was prescribed, the side effects were explained, but I was only told to call the doctor if I got a rash. Severe cramping & diarrhea set in by day 2. I didn't want to stop as it was helping my sinus infection. I was told the antibiotic had to be strong to penetrate the sinus cavity. After only reading testimonials on this site was I able to discover the reason for it was the strong antibiotic was killing the "good" bacteria in my stomach needed to maintain good balance. Acidophilus (what is found in yogurt) would help replenish the "good" bacteria in the digestive tract. I am not a fan of yogurt (but would eat it if helped). I then visited my Walmart Rx. They told me it was a common side effect. I asked about eating yogurt & was told there was a supplement containing the ingredient needed to replenish good bacteria. The "miracle" drug is called Culturelle. After getting this dietary supplement and taking it, my stomach was back t F 40 6 days

 1  Husband took prior to root canal Repeated violent vomiting even when there was nothing left to vomit. Severe headache. Personality disruption. This drug was prescribed for my husband prior to dental surgery. After two days, he had virtually non-stop vomiting for 24 hours. After using Phenegren suppositories and discontinuing the drug, he seems stabilized. Complains of splitting headache, exquisitely sensitive to light. His personality has shifted from easy-going to something horrible. He has never, never acted like this before, no matter how sick he was. I am throwing these pills away and calling his dentist. He's too weak to do anything. This is a BAD, BAD medicine. M 56 3 days

 2  Infected cat bite After my cat bit me while playing, my arm started hurting. A few days later I thought I'd just pulled a muscle until I noticed SPONTANEOUS BRUISING APPEARING IN SPOTS up and down my arm. I went to ER and got Rocephin IV. The bleeding stopped. I was put on Aug 875 for 10 days. This drug gave me EXTREME ABDOMINAL PAIN after TWO DOSES. I had SEVERE DIARRHEA like you'd get with Salmonella food poisoning. I couldn't take it. I backed the dose off to 1000 mg per day. Now 5 days into treatment with Aug I have muscular/joint pain. Feel like I've been hit by a truck and I'm dizzy and spacy. Augmentin does seem to have stopped the infection spreading in my arm but it has SEVERE side effects. Use it with caution. F 45 5 days

 5  UTI mild yeast infection. nothing else As someone who suffers from chronic UTIs, I have been on a lot of different antibiotics. I have developed an allergy to sulfa drugs over the years and have recently been prescribed both macrobid and cipro to treat my infections. I have experienced EXTREMELY horrible side effects on both of those drugs I asked my doctor to prescribe me something else. He put me on Augmentin and I was skeptical and afraid of the side effects I would experience, especially after reading some of the negative reviews on this site. I, however, was pleasantly surprised. This drug not only made my UTI symptoms much better after 24 hours, but I also did not suffer from any terrible side effects like I did on the other antibiotics. I will definitely take this again over all other antibiotics I've ever been prescribed so far. F 26 7 days

 4  sinus infection/cat bite infection The most common side effect you get is diarrhea and upset stomach. You can counteract this by taking PRO BIOTICS. Yogart might not be enough, I took probiotic capsules and had no side effects. If you get hives or shortness of breath notify your doctor immediately. This medicine saved my life several times over. F 55 2 weeks

 3  Sinus Infection TERRIBLE feminine itching and yeast infection. I have white patches on back of my mouth. Joint pains in my arms. All symtoms happened after 9 days of taking augmentin. Cleared up the sinus infection quickly, but I would not take this pill again. F 26 10 days

 3  abscessed tooth gastric bloating and flatulence... did stop the endless toothache, or seemed to took kmart generic simethicone 2x day, acidophilus, and homeostatic soil organisms (which includes acidophilus and over a dozen other gut bacterial strains) the above comment to not eat dairy products worked best for me...even a little organic yogurt wasn't tolerated 7 days

 3  Ear infection As soon as our son started taking this for twin ear infections, his personality underwent a drastic change. A kid who hit someone maybe once every six months was kicking or hitting someone at least once a day (more like three times). He was very hyper also, which was completely unlike him - he's extremely mellow for a four year old boy. Unless this was the last medicine available to treat something, I would not give it to him again, although it seemed to clear up the ear infection. F 44 10 days

 1  Sinus Infection Projectile vomiting within 6 hours. Diarrhea all day long. A fever of 101.6 I rather deal with the sinus symptoms. I discontinued use. F 32 1 days

 2  Sinus infection Horrible headache lasting most of the day. The headache is centered right in my forehead. Feels like I have a migraine or something. Nothing makes the headache go away. It might be helping my sinus infection, but not really sure yet. I guess time will tell. I am on day 5. However, there may be a plus. I think it is helping out with my irritable bowel syndrome.
