Have travelled abroad this week..
Done Rtpcr 4 times(protocol) and all 4 are negative last Rtpcr was done 3 days before and its negative.
Since 2 days i have fever..not very high (38°)
I had a wound on my leg which has turned into septic and the leg is swollen..today i went to hospital and got the dressing done..
Since today morning i didnt had temperature but just a little throat pain...tonsils have become extremely red!
Doctors here and doctor on practo prescribed me to take augmentin 1000mg twice a day for 5 days..
I took first dose in the morning... After an hour of taking first dose my stomach started bloating and i have diarrhea..
What should i do now?
Get covid tested again tomorrow?
Should i continue taking augmentin 1000mg ?
I have taken probiotics along with augmentin..i felt better for few hours but again diarrhea continued after that!
What should i do now?

Augmentin is a combination of Amoxicillin and Clavulanic acid. Few people suffer from diarrhoea after taking it. I feel 1000 mg twice a day is more. Consult the doctor who has prescribed and he/she may change it or decrease the dose.
Next Steps
Take Oral rehydration solution to replenish the fluids and salts in diarrhoea.
