I've just been prescribed Amoxicillin 500mg Capsules for a skin infection. I've never taken antibiotics before, so I'm a bit nervous about the side effects. I've read about the potential for severe allergic reactions, diarrhea, and other issues. Has anyone else had experience with this medication? What should I expect, and are there any tips for managing the side effects? I really want to make sure I take this correctly, so any advice would be appreciated.

I was prescribed Amox-Clav 200mg/5ml Susp 50ml for my daughter's infection, but the possible side effects have me really worried. Has anyone else had experience with this? How common are the severe side effects, and what should I really be looking out for? I just want to make sure I'm not overreacting, but I also want to be prepared.
