Scared of Amox-Clav 200mg/5ml Susp 50ml - What are the real risks?
I was prescribed Amox-Clav 200mg/5ml Susp 50ml for my daughter's infection, but the possible side effects have me really worried. Has anyone else had experience with this? How common are the severe side effects, and what should I really be looking out for? I just want to make sure I'm not overreacting, but I also want to be prepared.
I had a bad reaction to this once—got a rash and swollen lips. Scary stuff. If you see anything like that, get to the ER.
I've given this to my kid a few times and never had any issues. Just keep an eye on her and if something seems off, call the doctor.
The side effects sound scary, but they are rare. My doctor told me to watch for the serious ones and not to worry too much about the common ones like diarrhea or vomiting. Kids can handle more than we think sometimes.
My son had diarrhea, but it was mild. Just keep hydrating and it should pass. If it gets really bad, then you might want to call the doctor.
