A member asked:

Still have fevers and congestion 2 days off zpack started augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) 875mg today when should start seeing improvement and why did z pack not work?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sinusitis: The best way to check if you are having a real fever is with a thermometer - subjective feelings of fever do not necessarily mean you have a worsening infection. Azithromycin or "zpack" may not cover all of the same bacteria that Augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) does.
