Hi,
Welcome to healthcare Magic!
Augmentin is a penicillin group of antibiotic and is very well tolerated drug and quite effective one but there is significant risk of hypersensitivity reaction even if you have used it previously.
You have taken a good antiallergenic drug but still run a risk of allergic phenomenon.
You must stop the amox and clavulanic acid combination right now and consult a nearby clinician for further management.
I hope the advise would be informative and useful for you.
Take Care!
