Is This Normal Of Having Body Ache While Taking Augmentin?
My husband in on his third of a seven day prescription of Augmentin to treat sinus and congestion related issues. Last night he had chills, which eventually subsided and he has had body ache for the past two days. Is this normal and if so, what can he take for the body ache? Thank you

Hi
Welcome to HCM.
I appreciate your concern for the safety of Augmentin.
As a matter of fact the use of Augmentin is not associated with body ache as your husband is suffering from it. It is quite common to have body ache during infections like sinusitis. You can give him Paracetamol (Acetaminophen) for the body ache.
If the body ache or the chills do not subside then he should be examined by his treating doctor to find out other causes for body ache.
Hope this answers your query.
