A member asked:

Everyone, i am currently taking amoxil (amoxicillin) for my tonsillitis and strep throat. are there any side effects to this medicine?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Few side effects: Amoxil (amoxicillin) is usually well tolerated and the side effects are very few also. As with most antibiotics you could have diarrhea, stomach ache, vomiting and a rash . Hive like rashes should be reported to your doctor immediately.
