I was recently prescribed Amoxil 250mg/5ml Susp 80ml for an ear infection. I've never taken this medication before, so I'm a bit nervous. I know it's an antibiotic and that it's important to finish the whole course, but I'm curious about what side effects to expect and what to do if they occur. If you have any personal experiences or advice, please share!

I've taken Amoxicillin before, it treats infections well but it can cause some mild symptoms like diarrhea and stomach ache. Just stay hydrated and you'll be fine.

Just finished a course of Amoxicillin myself. It's not fun, but it works. Take lots of yogurt or something with good bacteria to help your gut recover.

I bet it's gross, but it will help you feel so much better, just finish the prescription.

Be careful with antibiotics, they can mess with your system. Make sure to finish the entire course even if you feel better.

Amoxicillin always gave me a rash. I had to switch to a different antibiotic. Keep an eye out for any allergic reactions.

I got really bad diarrhea from Amoxicillin once. If that happens, drink lots of water and let your doctor know right away.
