Questions and answers on "Amoxicillin"
I had root canal on my tooth 9 days ago. Was feeling pain and dentist redid same root canal last 5days later. Started amoxicillin 3 days later. Still have low grade fever. Started on 1000 mg amoxicillin 2days ago and was told to take 1500 mg a day from here on till completion. What can I expect? When will amoxicillin work?
MD Hi
with your question as such getting fever with a root canal treatment done is not a usual issue provided all the infection and pulpal remnants were removed. Coming to the drug you are using is good enough as a routine antibiotic.I wouls suggest you to go to your dentist take an radiograph and...
Hello, I m Leonife i am 29 years old im pregnant now on my third baby..when i found out that im pregnant coz i was 1 month delayed on my menstruation i decided to take some medicines to stop the pregnancy..i took alaxan which is pain reliever with amoxicillin but there is no effect, then my sister in law suggested me to take cortal 3 tablets with softdrinks but still it has no effect to terminate my pregnancy..no i am decided to just continue my pregnancy but i am so afraid if there is side effect on my unborn baby those medicines i have taken..does all those medicines can cause abnormalities on my unborn baby??please help me..thank you and God Bless..
MD Hello,
Alaxan is contraindicated in pregnancy as it is shown to harm the fetus. Cortal cannot abort the pregnancy but it can harm the baby. Amoxicillin is comparatively less dangerous. In all, the medicines you have taken are harmful to your baby, so I suggest you to consult your doctor before...

I am reading about a parent whose child had leg pain after taking amoxicillin and mine is the same. He had a swollen lymph-node at his well visit, was prescribed amoxicillin and after 3 doses, developed a fever and leg pain (in addition to stomach and head pain). He threw up his 4th dose and then felt much better. We gave him a 5th dose this morning and we are back to the low grade fever and limping again. Maybe he got something from the doc s office? I am just concerned about the leg pain associated with the amoxicillin even though it could be from the virus. It seems strange that it developed AFTER having taken the antibiotic .
MD Hello Celine,
Thanks for posting,
From your description it will seem obvious to conclude that the intake of amoxicillin is likely associated with the leg pain (plus the example that you quoted related to the other parent). Now, leg pain is not a known side effect of amoxicillin and personally I...
My 2 1/2 year old daughter was on Amoxicillin for an ear infection. On day 8 of her taking the medication (yesterday) she developed a severe itchy red bumped rash all over her entire body from her scalp to the bottoms of her feet. I saw a pede doctor this morning who Said its not associated with the amoxicillin but probably a viral infection. Since getting home I have done a ton of research linking amoxicillin with skin rashes. What can be done for her to alleviate the pain, how long will this rash last and do you think the two are related? She hasn't had any amoxicillin today and ive thrown out the bottle. Her ear is entirely cleared up. Thank you!

I'm taking amoxicillin and have developed a yeast infection which i believe is common side effect of this. I have purchased a canesten oral capsule for this but i'm unsure if i can take this now to clear up the thrush or if i need to wait until i have finished my course of amoxicillin first. i concerned that if i take the Canesten tablet now the thrush will just return as i'm still taking the amoxicillin?
MD Hi

My child is 6 months old and weighs 20 pounds. My pediatrician prescribed amoxicillin and benadryl to be given at the same time. My son is also teething so the dr mentioned tylenol to help with pain.

MD i am 58 years old, have been post menopausal for 12 years. In February I had two short lasting episodes of thick clear gel like discharge about 3 weeks apart. About 3 weeks after that I had a short lasting episode of this clear gel discharge but it was streaked with brownish blood. Had sex a couple of days before and I really wasn t concerned, thought it was due to sex. A few days ago while taking amoxicillin for tooth implant surgery, I had a short lasting thinner brownish discharge with burning in outer vulva area. Am still having irritation feeling in vagina, but no discharge. Now I am concerned and have appt with my physician.
