Understanding Amoxicillin Overdose Symptoms

Seek immediate medical attention if you suspect an amoxicillin overdose. Don’t delay; prompt treatment is key.

Common symptoms include nausea and vomiting. You might also experience diarrhea. These gastrointestinal issues are often the first signs.

More serious symptoms, though less common, are possible. These include allergic reactions like hives, itching, or swelling of your face, lips, or tongue. Difficulty breathing or a rapid heartbeat also warrants immediate medical help.

Less frequent, but still significant, are neurological symptoms such as dizziness, confusion, or seizures. These require rapid intervention.
