Antibiotics usage

2020-09-14 14:30:31
I had a severe throat infection for which the doctor prescribed Augmentin 625. The problem got treated after having 2 tablets x 5 days. Immediately the next day after that, I contracted a skin infection for which I have been consuming Cefuroxime Axetil 500 - 2 tablets a day for the last 13 days. Will the continued usage of antibiotics cause any side effects?
