A member asked:
Returned to er on 6/10. was told that i still have a sinus infection and ear infection. augmentum was prescribed. how effective is this antibiotic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually works well: For most, the milder drug Amoxicillin can do well but Augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) has added strength to kill a few more germs that might be resistent to the amoxicillin. You should begin to feel some relief within 24 hours if it is starting to work.
