    Was taking this for swollen glands. On day 9 of 10 I got this uncontrolable itch in my throat and ears. Also started got a rash all over. With in hours my throat started to swell up. Now, i am on Seroids and Antishistamines for the control of these side effects. I don't think i was so much the meds, as i have taken this before. I think i was the dose. 875mg seems to be too much.

    My two year old son was prescribed this medication for an infection. He took it for 10 days. I noticed that he was not acting normal on about the 7th day. On the 11th day, we went to ER. He had large, red hives covering his body - a bad reaction to the penicillin.

    I had a tooth pulled. Dr prescribed 500MG 3 times a day for seven days -- I am on day 7 and the area in which my tooth was pulled is still swollen and very painful.

    I had a salivary gland infection and was prescribed 875.125 mg of Amoxicillin. I'm sure it works better for other conditions, but for me, my infection is still intact and I just suffered some moderate-severe side effects.
