Been on Augmentin for 6 days.. Have been feeling sick to my stomach since day one.. Can't eat much and certain smells make me have severe nausea..Stating to scare myself because I am not eating much! Should I stop taking Augmentin?
Definitely do not stop taking Augmentin. For all antibiotics, you should always finish the full course of therapy (due to antibiotic resistance). You can try to minimize the side effects by taking the dose with food or with a cup of milk initially -- never on an empty stomach. What you are experiencing is quite common. I know this is not much comfort, but you can try eating smaller meals, sucking lozenges, chew gum, to help with the nausea. Diarrhea is also another common side effect. If it is too unbearable for you -- call your doctor and see what he/she wants to do to you. I'm guessing you have 4 days left.
