Hi. I Got Prescribed Augmentin (amoxicillin And Clavulanic Acid) And

Hi. I got prescribed augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanic acid) and I took one pill last night. I woke up this morning with swelling in both of my eyelids. They were both puffy, the right side more than the left. I took another dose at 12pm today. I am now realising this could of been an allergic reaction to the medication as it contains penicillin. I've only taken 2 pills of this and my eye lids are still puffy. I'm very scared to take another dose so I haven't. I'm worried I might be allergic. Should I wait to see my doctor on Monday (today is Saturday) and stop taking the medication? Thanks.
