Hello, Fiona! How are you feeling?

It really depends on the type and severity of the infection, so if that's the way your doctor prescribed it, it should be enough to do the job.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of this antibiotic as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

Is there anything else I can help with?
