It might be the antibiotic, but you'll need to discuss this with her prescribing physician.

The clavulinic acid in augmentin is hard on the stomach and should be taken with food. She may have antibiotic associated diarrhea, but if the diarrhea is severe, a culture to test for c diff and other intestinal pathogens is indicated. She must drink lots of fluids and eat only soft, bland foods. After multiple loose movements she can take imodium according to instructions. Notify her MD

I was given a prescription for amoxicillin without giving a swab for strep. Now that it's been a few days, it looks more like a canker sore on my right tonsil. Should I keep taking the antibiotics?
