Hi,

The symptoms can be related to an allergic reaction from Augmentin. I suggest you use antihistamines like Cetirizine once daily for relief.

If the symptoms continue you should consult your doctor about further treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
