Has there been any change, yet?

The general rule for antibiotics, according to NIH studies, is that if they are working, you shouldn't see any worsening after taking them for a full 24 hours, and you should start to see improvement after taking it for a full 3 days. If there is no change, by that point, it might not be the right antibiotic to help you.

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