Can Augmentin Duo 500mg Help Relieve Cold With Stuffed Head, Green Runny Node And Harsh Cough Worsening At Night?

hi there. I am a 44 yr old full time working mum and for the last few days I have a cold that has got a lot worse and as I dont have time to sit back and recover, I was wondering if it would be ok for me to take augmentin duo 500mg antibiotic which I have in my medicine cabinet and how much should I take. My symptoms are very stuffed up head, very green runny nose and a very harsh cough which seems worse at night. I am also running hot and cold and feel very much under the weather

Hi, you seem to have URTI. All your augmentin duo 625 mg is an antibiotics.
Its a penicillin group of drug.you cannot take it often.
I suggest you to consult doctor , get your self examined and then take them.
You need to take anti inflammatory medicines, anti histamines also with this. So do consult doctor.
