I am a healthy 53 year old woman who has just been diagnosed with a Klebsiella/Strep Group B oral infection.  Treatment is 875 mg. Augmentin twice a day for 10 days.  After only 5 doses, the white coating on my tongue has completely disappeared and  I have energy back as well, but there is still some burning sensation on my tongue and roof of the mouth.  I am not sure how the infection was contracted- perhaps a possible infected toothbrush that I used consistently for 5 days or so.  Is this an overly serious infection, or will I do well on the Augmentin given that there has been significant improvement so far?  I dont know much about these strains of bacteria, and everything I read on the internet is just rather scary.  Thank you..
