Hi all,
I was prescribed Amocla 625 mg, which I guess is more commonly known by the brand name Augmentin.
I have been avoiding antibiotics like a plague. However, it has to come that I had been having persistent fever for 4 days with other upper respiratory symptoms. I knew I was checkmate when the fever didn't abate with paracatemol. The doctor was nice but found it ridiculous when I asked if the antibiotics will exacerbate my tinnitus. He wanted to prescribe Clarithromycin but based on what I have read so far, I requested for Amoxicillin, which he said he has never heard of anyone telling him that Amox can cause or worsen T.

I am into my 4th tablet and it seems the volume of my T has increased slightly. I was able to sleep but woke up to a louder T and an additional tone, which thankfully went away. I know the louder T could be due to my upper resp infection or my own anxiety but I am feeling a tad jittery.
I wonder for those who have taken antibiotics and had experienced spikes, would the volume return to baseline when I complete the course? I am seeking some assurance so as to soldier till the last dose tomorrow afternoon.
