Amoxicillin for Pneumonia Reviews

Amoxil (amoxicillin) "I have bacterial pneumonia with 2 spots on my lungs after the flu. Not much nasal involvement. Bad headache, body ache, fever, and chills. Deep dry cough. Started Levaquin by IV at the ER, but within an hour I got hives on my mouth and neck and felt slightly itchy all over, then 3 bouts of projectile vomiting. Then tried Clindamycin but developed hives after 2 days. Both meds helped me feel better, and my headache and fever went away. Now on Amoxicillin-Clav 875, twice a day. Symptoms are very slowly improving. Only a bit of loose stool. Probiotics and a bland diet help."


Amoxil (amoxicillin) "10 to 15% improvement after second gel capsule"


"Marked improvement of lung congestion after 24 hours."


"It causes side effects like headache, nausea."
