What Causes Itchy Feet And Hands While On Augmentin?
Question: I have finished a round of augmentin from a 4 week bout of bronchitis and my feet and hands have been itching really bad. No rash and no raised bumps. It gets red for a while but calms down. Is this a side effect from the antibiotics?
Thanks
