Suggest Treatment For Side Effects Of Amoxicillin

Read below.
Detailed Answer:
I read your question carefully and I understand your concern.
I do not think the drooling speech is related to an Alleve or Amoxicillin overdose, they do not manifest in that was, do not cause slurred speech, usually with digestive symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, stomach pain etc.
The discussion is most probably between an allergic reaction, worsening of the infection and stroke. In the first two instances the slurred speech would be if there is local swelling of the tongue and oral soft tissue which wouldn’t permit her to articulate clearly. In the case of stroke it would be an issue of a paralysis of the throat muscles responsible for articulating words. So in case there is no visible swelling of the tongue or any other local visible swelling I would say that stroke is well possible.
So in that case since stroke is an emergency I would take her directly to the ER, wouldn’t wait for an appointment to whichever specialist and then it’s up to the ER people to call the neurologist (or ENT if they see some local issue responsible), it depends also on where you live, ER organization and whether they have neurological consults available for 24 hours or not. But for sure stroke suspicion is a medical emergency which requires urgent evaluation with neurological physical exam and head imaging.
I remain at your disposal for other questions.
