Hello, Kay! How are you?

The general rule for antibiotics is that if the are working, you should not see any worsening after taking them for a full 24 hours, and you should start to see improvement after taking them for a full 3 days, according to general NIH reports.

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

Has there been any change, yet?
