Amox-clav 875 Mg, How Long Does It Take To Kill Infection? (Top voted first)

Updated

I was prescribed this med for 6 days for a severe head and chest infection. After 3 days I'm still seeing signs of infection. I called the dr and was told to wait a week and see how I felt. I am worried that the infection will return with a vengeance because it wasn't completely killed?

Hello, Carol! How are you?

The general rule with antibiotics is that if they are working, you shouldn't see any worsening of the infection after being on it for a full 24 hours and you should start to see improvement after taking it for a full 3 days. That's why your doctor told you to wait a few more days.

The FDA classifies this medication as an antibiotic and lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

Have you shown any improvement, yet?

Hi I started amoxicillin clav 875 yesterday for a skin infection around my right eye - last night swelling was considerably down and now this morning it's back to being red and swollen
Took another dose this morning and it is still swollen - should I give it a full three days before going to the hospital?
