Can amox/clav cause purple around the eyes? i am taking it again for sinus as before i got purple around my eyes. on my 4th day

Not likely: Amoxicillin/clavulanate should not be causing purple discoloration around your eyes. This may be due to the inflammation in the sinuses with possibly some bleeding. If this does not begin to go away soon check with an ENT doctor.
