The duration of Augmentin treatment depends entirely on the infection being treated. Your doctor determines the course length based on your specific condition and response to medication.
Sinusitis: Typically, a 7-10 day course is prescribed. However, more severe cases may require longer treatment.
Pneumonia: Treatment for pneumonia often lasts 10-14 days, adjusting depending on severity and the patient’s response.
Ear Infections (Otitis Media): A common prescription is 7-10 days, but your doctor might extend this if necessary.
Skin Infections (Cellulitis): Treatment usually ranges from 7 to 14 days, guided by the infection’s extent and improvement.
Bronchitis: Augmentin for bronchitis might be prescribed for 7-10 days, depending on the severity and the patient’s progress.
Important Note: Never adjust your Augmentin dosage or stop taking it prematurely without consulting your doctor. Complete the prescribed course even if you feel better to prevent the infection’s recurrence and the development of antibiotic resistance.
Always follow your doctor’s instructions carefully. They will tailor your treatment to your individual needs.
