When to Seek Medical Attention

Contact your doctor immediately if you experience a severe allergic reaction, including difficulty breathing, swelling of your face, lips, or tongue, or hives. These are serious signs requiring immediate medical attention.

Seek medical advice if your symptoms worsen or don’t improve after a week of taking amoxicillin and clavulanate. This includes persistent fever, worsening cough, or new symptoms developing.

Also, contact your doctor if you notice any signs of a secondary infection, such as diarrhea that is watery or bloody, or severe stomach pain. These could indicate Clostridium difficile infection.

Pay close attention to your body’s response to the medication. The following table summarizes situations requiring prompt medical attention:

Symptom Action
Severe allergic reaction (difficulty breathing, swelling) Go to the emergency room immediately.
Uncontrolled diarrhea (watery or bloody) Contact your doctor immediately.
Severe abdominal pain Contact your doctor immediately.
No improvement after 7 days of treatment Contact your doctor.
