When to See a Doctor While Taking Amoxil

Contact your doctor immediately if you experience a severe allergic reaction, characterized by hives, swelling of the face, lips, or tongue, or difficulty breathing. This requires prompt medical attention.

Don’t hesitate to call your doctor if your symptoms worsen or don’t improve after 48 to 72 hours of taking Amoxil. Persistent or recurring sinus pain, fever, or increased congestion may indicate the infection isn’t responding to the antibiotic.

Amoxil Side Effects Requiring Medical Attention

Seek medical advice if you develop diarrhea that’s watery or bloody, as this could be a sign of Clostridium difficile infection, a serious complication. Also, report any unusual bruising or bleeding, signs of jaundice (yellowing of skin or eyes), or severe abdominal pain.

Finally, be sure to discuss any new or concerning symptoms with your doctor, even if they seem unrelated to your sinus infection. Open communication is key to successful treatment.
