I developed hives after starting Augmentin for a sore throat; should I keep taking this antibiotic along with an allergy medicine, or should I stop?

Asked by Male, 23 · 13 days ago

Please stop taking the Augmentin (amoxicillin/clavulanate) right away. Hives can be a sign of an allergic reaction, and continuing the antibiotic?even with an allergy medicine?could lead to a more serious reaction. You can take an over-the-counter allergy medicine to help soothe the itching, but please contact your doctor or visit an urgent care clinic immediately. They will safely evaluate your symptoms and prescribe a different antibiotic for your sore throat.
