Hi,

Related to your concern it is not known that Augment can cause dry cough and loss of voice as major side effects. It is not recommended to switch the antibiotics if you don't have major side effects. But in your case you should talk with a doctor to make an physical examination and to exclude an viral situation that can cause these symptoms (laryngitis?).

I hope my answer help you. Let me know if I can assist you further. I wish your daughter a quick recovery.

Regards,
Dr. Monika Dede
