Duration of side effects of Amoxicillin?!


Question: Duration of side effects of Amoxicillin!?
My daughter was on Amoxicillin 2 times a day for 7 days for the treatment of pneumonia!. She took her last dose yesterday morning!. She had diarrhea, vomiting, and a yeast infection from the drug!. She still has a the runs which I am sure she will for a few more days!. Is it still normal for her to still have the vomiting!. It is not major vomiting, but how long can this last!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
It takes up to 4 days for the effects to wear off!. Be sure she doesn't have ANY alcohol as well though!. Even alcohol in mouthwash or cough syrup is enough to make someone incredibly sick while on this drug!.

If the problems persist after 4 days definitely take her to your doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Oh - I hate amoxicillin!. It's amazing how it works but the side effects SUCK!. Here are the side effects:

* Watery or bloody diarrhea (which can occur even after you have finished the medication)
* Signs of liver damage, such as yellow eyes or skin (jaundice), upper right abdominal pain, or dark urine
* A vaginal yeast infection or thrush (a yeast infection of the mouth)
* Seizures
* Anxiety or agitation
* Signs of an allergic reaction, such as:

An unexplained rash
Hives
Itching
Unexplained swelling (especially of the lips, mouth, or throat)
Wheezing or other breathing problems!.
# Nausea and vomiting
# Diarrhea
# A black, hairy tongue
# Hyperactivity
# Insomnia
# Confusion
# Dizziness
# Tooth discoloration!.

The nausea and vomiting sounds like it makes sense, and it probably won't last very long!. I wish you the best!Www@Answer-Health@Com

She may be allergic to the medication I would call the doctor!.!.the diarrhea is normal because it is getting rid of the infection and the yeast infection is from the medication which I am sure you knew, but the vomiting Im not sure about that!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Contact your doctor and tell them what is going on!. Anytime my children have been on Amoxicillin they have not had any vomiting!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
