Hello,

It is more likely to be a side effect of antibiotic Augmentin and not probably infection. Although, the symptoms can be temporary and will resolve once the antibiotic intake is stopped. You can also consult an emergency room or your dentist and get a proper examination done. If it is due to antibiotic he can change to other substitutes.

For now avoid driving or operating any heavy machinery as it can cause accident due to dizziness.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
