Augmentin (amoxicillin / clavulanate) for Pneumonia: This worked wonders on my pneumonia. I had pneumonia for 9 days, started Augmentin, and felt great after 3 more days.

Augmentin (amoxicillin / clavulanate) for Bacterial Infection: Had a bad sinus infection that went into my lungs, but after 3 days on Augmentin, I started to feel much better. The only drawback for me is the nausea and mild diarrhea.

Augmentin (amoxicillin / clavulanate) for Bronchitis: This is the best antibiotic for the treatment of sinusitis and bronchitis. ALL antibiotics can give you diarrhea because they also can destroy the 'good' bacteria in your gut. You can alleviate this by taking a pro-biotic in small doses, or just have some yogurt for breakfast.

Augmentin (amoxicillin / clavulanate) for Skin Infection: I suffered from Pseudofolliculitis behind my head for years and by chance I got Augmentin from Libya without any prescription. In Europe all the doctors that I consulted could not find solution for this problem so one day I just worked into a pharmacy in Libya and showed it to the Doctor in charge of the pharmacy who adviced me to take Augmentin. I was a bit hesitant but before my returning date (after 5 days) I noticed that all the bumps are drying.
and now I'm very proud of my head.

Augmentin (amoxicillin / clavulanate) for Sinusitis: Been on 875 mgs 2 times a day for a sinus infection for 6 days and I don't feel any better, everything still hurts. I have not had any side effects. My doctor said it could take up to 4 weeks....

Augmentin (amoxicillin / clavulanate) for Bacterial Infection: I had an infection caused by cat bites & scratches on my hand (my cat got caught in a vine by his tail and was in a complete panic; I freed him from the vine, however, during that process he latched onto my hand and bit and scratched - he is ok, thank goodness). I was prescribed this medication; it took time, yet it did work to eliminate the infection. The side-effects of 2 pills/day of 875mg each (total/day = 1,750mg) for 10 days had a strong effect on me. I did not follow-up with the hospital, which I should have done. I would emphasize that if anyone is to take that amount of this medication, to consult with their doctor when side effects are seen.

Augmentin (amoxicillin / clavulanate) for Bacterial Infection: Works well on me and my children. I have found it works in a few days. I have used it for chest infections and middle ear, and had great results with all my family.

Augmentin (amoxicillin / clavulanate) for Urinary Tract Infection: I was on Augmentin twice a day for 7 days. I thought I would have diarrhea and cramps, headaches all the fun stuff with antibiotics but all that happened to me is about 2 hours after taking it I found myself VERY sleepy which it was bedtime anyways. Just try to take it 2 to 3 hours BEFORE bed so it won't upset you stomach while you are sleeping. Also what really helped me is drinking Dan Active yogurt so I get no diarrhea while taking it and it works well but I also was taking Culturelle (Probiotics). That AND the yogurt helped with diarrhea very well.

Augmentin (amoxicillin / clavulanate) for Upper Respiratory Tract Infection: Used it for a 2 year old for bronchitis and was very effective. Difference seen in 2 days. I used Orelox before that and it did not help at all. With any chest, sinus related infection Augmentin is the way to go.

Augmentin (amoxicillin / clavulanate) for Strep Throat: This cleared my throat infection within 2 days and made me feel so much better pretty quickly as far as temperature and discomfort were concerned. However, I did vomit with it and felt nauseous for about an hour and a half after taking it. The diarrhoea is still with me on day 4.

Augmentin XR (amoxicillin / clavulanate) for Skin and Structure Infection: Had a cat bite me on my hand...full set of teeth and sharp. Hand swelled and was red. Took augmentin 8 hours after being bitten and within 3 days swelling went down and redness had faded. 6 years as an animal control officer and never injured once...help my friend pick out a cat at the local humane society and get bitten...oh the irony! This is an excellent medicine for cat bites. Had a friend tell me her dad got bitten by a cat and he ended up in the hospital and almost died from an infection. Lucky me from my experience I knew to seek medical attention immediately. Anyone bitten by a cat should know they have about an 85% chance of infection and need to take it very seriously or you'll end up in hospital.

Augmentin (amoxicillin / clavulanate) for Bacterial Infection: My son had over half of the severe reactions to this medicine. He was prescribed this medicine for an ear infection. We spent a whole day in the doctors office being tested for everything from cancer and blood disorders to simple viruses. Thankfully, we found out it was just a reaction to augmentin. Our oldest son has had augmentin before without any reaction what-so-ever.
Augmentin (amoxicillin / clavulanate) for Sinusitis: Took this for 10 days. Still did not knock out the full infection. We are trying Zithromycin now, 500 mg's for 7 days and then off one week and then 7 more days.
amoxicillin / clavulanate for Bronchitis: This medication worked wonders! My lungs hurt so bad, and I was coughing with a rattling sound in my chest. After one day of the medicine, I was breathing so much easier and the rattling was gone.
Augmentin (amoxicillin / clavulanate) for Strep Throat: This medication did clear up my strep throat within the first couple days being on it. However the side effects were horrible. I had watery diarrhea for like 3 days, I always felt nausea after taking it even with food, and I had strong stomach pains. Also by the 4th day on it I had a yeast infection.
Augmentin (amoxicillin / clavulanate) for Otitis Media: For my son, who got multiple ear infections, Augmentin worked well.
We always increase his yogurt intake while on antibiotics and he's has little to no trouble with this side effect.
Seems to taste Okay to him too.
good drug...try to be proactive about the diarrhea and/or yeast infection with porbiotics and taking the med with food.
my two cents...
Augmentin (amoxicillin / clavulanate) for Otitis Media: My 17 month old son gets many ear infections. After 8 days on this one he had an allergic reaction. The doctors in ER told us he is allergic to Penicillin. Also, his ear infection didn't clear-up with this antibiotic. Maybe others will have better luck.
