Closely watch for diarrhea. If it becomes severe or persistent, contact your doctor immediately. Dehydration is a serious risk, so increase your fluid intake.
Gastrointestinal Issues
Both azithromycin and amoxicillin can cause nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Note the severity and frequency of these symptoms. Mild discomfort may resolve on its own, but persistent or worsening symptoms require medical attention.
Allergic Reactions
Monitor for skin rashes, itching, hives, or swelling of the face, lips, or tongue. These are signs of a possible allergic reaction. Seek immediate medical help if an allergic reaction occurs. Anaphylaxis is a life-threatening emergency.
Liver Function
Rarely, these medications can affect liver function. Unusual fatigue, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes), dark urine, or pale stools warrant immediate medical evaluation. Your doctor might order liver function tests.
Other Potential Side Effects
While less common, be aware of potential side effects such as dizziness, headache, or changes in taste. Report any unusual symptoms to your doctor. This information assists in safe medication management.
