Should The ER Be Visited For Confusion And Behavioural Changes After Taking Augmentin?
My son Is 3 1/2 and was prescribed Augmentin for reoccurring strep. Took one dose 5 hrs ago and has been crying out in his sleep he talks to us but never fully wakes up. Acts as if something is after him. agitation, confusion, unusual thoughts or behavior is a side effect of the antibiotic. Should I take him to the e.r?
