Augmentin-- antibiotic, or misery in a pill form?
I was prescribed this on tuesday for a sinus infection that didn't properly clear up the first time. 1 pill twice daily for 10 days..
my doctor knows i don't like to take this particular antibiotic as it wreaks havoc on my stomach-- in fact i have never made it through a 10 course of it to date. i am almost half done as of today and i am going to be glad when i take the final dose friday morning.. between the bloating ,gas, heartburn, stomach cramping, and tummy distress...its not been fun..
i am following doctors orders and pushing probiotics between doses-- things like greek gods strawberry yogurt, vanilla frozen yogurt, carnation instant breakfast with probiotics and probiotic gummies at bedtime.
i am also eating things, like applesauce, oatmeal, rice krispies.
between it being a larger pill to swallow and the side effects, its not been fun.
do any of my readers have any tips to get me through the rest of my course of antibiotic? let me know in the comments below :)
