A member asked:
I have a rash on my elbows after being on augmenten 875 mg for 3 days. is this of concern? would it suffice to take benedryl and call it a night?

Rash/ Augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate): yes if all you have is the rash on your elbow, take the Benadryl, (diphenhydramine) take no more Augmentin for now. In the morning call your doctor and see what they would line you to do. If you start getting shortness of breath, difficulty swallowing then go to the ER.
