Usually not.: Generally the medications you were prescribed do not cause false positive pregnancy tests. Most medications do not interfere with pregnancy tests.

NO but talk with Dr.: You are probably pregnant if the test if positive. Untreated pneumonia can be harmful for your babies and so you definitely should not stop antibiotics, and Augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) is a pregnancy category b drug (felt to be safe in pregnancy for good indications). You should talk with your doctor about the relative benefits and risk of the steroids and cough suppressants.
