Hi! I have severe laryngitis and fever, and have been prescribe Augmentine Duo. I started on the medication yesterday. By evening, my face and chest turned red. I am also being treated for non-alcoholic fatty liver and cholesterol. Do I discontinue Augmentine? And what about the rash?
Cellophane You for contacting Chat Doctor. Yes you should discontinue as you are having allergic response from augmenting. Make sure you tell doctor in future that you are allergic to it. You can take levofloxacin as an alternative. Rash will subside itself in few days. If itching occurs the can take cetirizine one at night. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. Wishing you good health.
