THANKS FOR FOLLOW UP. AUGMENTIN USUALLY GIVE ADVERSE EFFECT WITH DIARRHEA, SOME ANTIBIOTICS CAN GIVE CONSTIPATION IN THE END OF COURSE. YOU TRY TO ADD PROBIOTIC LIKE AS VISILAC 1 CAPSULE 1 TIME 1 MONTH. DO CORRECTION IN DIET- ADD BOILED BEET ROOTS WITH OIL, CARROT AND BEETROOTS JUICE, KADDU,FRESH DAHI,TOMATO SOUP WTH BEET ROOTS AND CABBAGE, FRUITS AS APPLE, FRESH SALAD WITH CUCUMBER,ONION, TOMATO AND OLIVE OR SUNFLOWER OIL. IF NOTHING WERE WORKING YOU WOULD NEED TO GIVE LAXATIVE MEDICINE WITH LACTULOSE-DUFALAK, YOU CAN START FROM 1 TEASPOON BEFORE NIGHT.

I AM WISHING YOU SPEEDY RECOVERY
