I Have Been On Augmentin For 7 Days For What
Question: I have been on Augmentin for 7 days for what I thought was a sinus infection which I frequently get. Sore throat from post nasal drip, very bad burning behind the eyes, and very bad headache/pressure. Other than that no other symptoms. I am going on vacation on Thursday 27th...what can I do to help relieve these symptoms to feel better?
Brief Answer:
Hydrate yourself well
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
The symptoms you are facing are due to post viral illness. This may persist for a week or so.
The easy and best way to alleviate the symptoms is by hydrating yourself well. You can take fruit juices, water, buttermilk, tender coconut or even oral rehydration solution formulas.
If the symptoms are unbearable you can take a Tab Motrin 400mg once daily in the morning after breakfast.
Hope, I answered your query.
Wish you good health.
Regards,
