Is Amox Clav 875 Mg Used To Treat An Ear Infection

Hello I was given this drug for swollen lump moods in my neck on the right. The gland just below my ear and 3 at the bottom of my neck just above my shoulder where it meets the top of my neck. Today is day two. I had diarrhea this morning and my upper back sides and lower back are all in pain. I still have a soar throat on the right and a little numbness all the down my right arm. My husband says I've only been on it 2 days and I need to give it some time. The pill is so big that I've been breaking them in half but still making sure I get 2 in every day. Am I over reacting? Please help me because I'm getting ready to go to the emergency room in fear I'm dying. ## This is an antibiotic that is used to treat various types of bacterial infections, and it may take 3 days, be...

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? It should be one year from whenever it was dispensed to you by your pharmacy. If it is still good and your doctor okays it, plus verifies the presence of an infection, then you should be able to take it, as long as you have enough to complete a full course of treatment. According to the FDA, antibiotics may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. However, if the medication is expired, if y...

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 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 am taking 875 mg of amoxicillin-clav 2x a day. Very dizzy and upset stomach the first day , then diarrhea. The worst of it is the ringing in the ears and anxiety close to panic feeling. I want to break in half to start weaning off so the anxiety won't be so bad maybe? Been taking for 4 days. Please help. ## Hello, Colleen! How are you? Those can be normal side effects in some people that take this antibiotic, as listed by the FDA. You may also experience non-allergic skin rash and headache. However, there is no need to taper off, but you need to make sure to see your doctor so they can prescribe a different antibiotic to eradicate the infection being treated. A full course of antibiotics needs to be finished to fully eradicate the infectious bacteria. Is there anything else I can ...

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. The Amoxicillin + Clavulanate Potassium "combination" results in an antibiotic with an increased spectrum of action and restored efficacy against amoxicillin-resistant bacteria that produce -lactamase. In other words this is a more...

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...
