Does Amox Clav Treat An Ear Infection

I was prescribed this 4 days ago for a horrible ear infection brought on by a sinus infection, and no relief. I am wondering if it's not bacterial and maybe should be prescribed something different to relieve the pressure and pain? ## Amoxicillin with Clavulanic Acid, the active ingredients in Augmentin, is an antibiotic that is used to treat certain types of infections. However, it can take 5 to 7 days to reach its full effect and will not work as a pain reliever. And, as with any medication, it doesn't always work for everyone that tries it, so if your pain, or infection have not improved, you should contact your doctor. Are there any other questions or comments?

I get ear infections often and the Dr. prescribed AMOX-CLAV 875MG, but I still have some of the medicine left from last year, is it ok to take it today or will a year old prescription give me side effects? ## Hello, Patty! How are you? I'm sorry about the ear infection, they can be quite painful. What is the expiration date on the prescription?

I have been on this for 9 days so far, total of 14 days needed, for a bad sinus infection. Today I wake up with a sore jaw, at the hinge right below my ear. Ive never had jaw problems. I do have an spot with my Dr tonight, I ass prescribed the amid clavicle by an urgent care Dr. Is it possible that this is a "side effect" or has anything to do with it. Not my first time on this ir other antibiotics. The only thing that I added was mast night I stared a 7 day Otc yeast infection treatment. Thank you antibiotics. I'm also taking acidophilus. ## What did your doctor say? It would be very unusual for the antibiotic to cause that as a side effect, but it is always difficult to say how any certain medication will affect any given person that uses it.

I have been taking 2 pills a day of this for eight days. It was prescribed to me to prevent infection in a ruptured ear drum. The last few days I feel as if I have come down with a head cold. My sinuses are dripping constantly and I am sneezing. How is this possible with all this atibiotics in me? ## Simply because a cold is not caused by an infection, a cold is caused by a virus and therefore the antibiotics will have no effect on preventing it or helping it to clear up. An antibiotic is only effective at preventing or treating infections. The antibiotic may cause some side effects, such as: nausea, drowsiness, skin rash and diarrhea. The cold may also make the diarrhea worse, so you need to be careful and make sure you take in a lot of fluids to prevent dehydration. Learn more: Are th...

I was prescribed Amox TR-K CLV 875-125 MG Tab from my doctor, however I still feel the symptoms of the cold. I've also read that Amox does not cure the common cold. Can I take nyquil with the prescribed drug to make these symptoms go away? ## That is correct, Amoxicillin with Clavulanic Acid, a generic for Augmentin, is an antibiotic and is not effective at treating a cold, since colds are caused by a virus. However, many colds do lead to infections, since they can reduce your immunity and some people end up with ear or throat infections. Your doctor may have prescribed it to treat or prevent those, if you've been prone to getting them before. Learn more Augmentin details here. As to taking Nyquil with it, I didn't find any interactions or problems listed between the two, bu...

What kind of an infection is this for and how does it interact with alcohol? ## Amoxicillin is used to treat certain infections caused by bacteria, such as pneumonia; bronchitis; gonorrhea; and infections of the ears, nose, throat, urinary tract, and skin. It is also used in combination with other medications to eliminate H. pylori, a bacteria that causes ulcers. Amoxicillin is in a class of medications called penicillin-like antibiotics. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria. Antibiotics will not work for colds, flu, and other viral infections.
