Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
The symptoms he presents could be side effect of Augmentin. Augmentin however remains a very good drug for for ear infections.I will suggest you add an anti-histamine like premalan and observe.If the symptoms persist, you see your Prescribing Doctor for evaluation and possible change of drug.An ear drop like ciprofloxacin or ofloxacin drop may then be indicated.You just need to discuss it with your Doctor.
Hope my answer will help you
Best regards
