Augmentin 625
I started taking augmentin 625 for ear infection
My doctor recommend me for 5 days twice a day.
I want to know how many days are enough to know that this medicine is not working.
Because if I see improvement so I will definitely take it for 5 days.
But if not then when should I stop?
And I feel Giddiness
Thanks
