I would discuss with the Dr who saw you and knows you. Trust you had good reason to get Augmentin Review other possible causes of hives.

The first thing to do is stop taking the Augmentin, which I assume you have already done. If your hives are worsening while on prednisone, either the dosage of prednisone is incorrect, or something other than Augmentin is causing the hives. Check back with your physician right away, and get a referral to a dermatologist if necessary.
