Anyone treated with augmentin antibiotic?
Anyone found it to be helpful? I'm done with it but really didn't seem to help other than mucus is clear now. Shortly after taking my dose I seemed to get more throat and sinus inflammation.
My doc prescribed this along with pred for a sinus infection with companion wheezing in my upper airway and SOB.
Thanks, Kerie

That is penicillin? I have no faith in that. I take zpak 3 times a week.So far its helping to stop infections also helps inflammation of which is more my trouble.

Hello! Have they done culture and sensitivity tests to make sure that you are on the right drug
No, afraid not Ksmiles123 . However this last time i went to the express care and they don't have the facilities for that--even though they could refer me to the main hosp to get that done you would think.
Ksuzanne,
You can always request that they send you to the main hospital to get the tests done. It is best to have data, all the pieces of the puzzle together in order to treat efficiently. Please keep us posted
Thanks Ksmiles123, I have asked before and it is like talking to a brick wall. I will probably have to get a referral with infectious disease doc. :/
You are most welcome! Yes, many of us can relate- however, you must keep advocating for yourself to get the optimal treatment which you deserve
