Alergic Reaction To Augmentin

Updated

I went to the hospital yesterday as i had an ingrown toe nail infection. The doctor had prescribed augmentin, to be taken twice a day - 125mg. She also prescribed some probiotic medication and myprodol for the pain. By the evening, i had taken the 2nd dose of augmentin, 1 myprodol and 1 Reuterina tablet (Probiotic). This morning i woke up with severe chest pain and difficulty in breathing. My throat was very sore and my hands were painful. Its well into the day now, and i'm still battling with all of these symptoms. I have stopped taking all medication and i'm contemplating going back to the hospital.

Hi Cats68, i eventually landed back into hospital casualty yesterday afternoon after having extreme chest cramps and difficulty breathing, thankfully the doctor diagnosed that i was having an allergic reaction and was treated with some meds via an IV drip, and within 2 hours had relief. The doctor believes that it was the myprodol that caused my stomach gasses to come up which caused the chest pains. No more myprodol for me. I still need to continue with the augmentin though as per the doctors advice, and i'm very nervous to take it this morning. But the doctor has assured me that it was the myprodol so i'm going to trust in that. I was told that the myprodol contains neurofen, codein and paracetamol, and one of these ingredients made me sick. Thank you Cats68 for your concern, if i do have any reactions to the augmentin, i will be sure to write about it. Kind Regards, SinT.
