Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. You should be worried but not too much. Augmentin is usual amoxiclav . It is very helpful for Streptococcal infection, which causes tonsillitis at babies. The most common side effect-diarrhea , but if child will take also probiotics-Vizylac or Bifilac,then you will not have it.
Please let me know if you have further questions before meeting your primary care Doctor.
