Medical Conditions

I had a tooth filling done on 6/10/11.  On Sunday July 3rd I had unbelievable pain  in my tooth after eating breakfast.  A family friend who is a family doctor got me Augmentin and Hydrocodone until I see my dentist.  Last night I woke up to chest pains and stomach pains.  I thought I was going to vomit.  When I was in the bathroom it was hard to breathe, my ears were ringing, I was seeing stars, I couldn't move, my arms felt like they had 500 lb weights on them, my face was turning green, my lips were turning white, my mouth was dry. I woke my husband to go to the hospital, because I thought my body was shutting down!  I rested and about 20 minutes later I felt better.

The medications you are taking do not have any serious interactions with each other. It will be hard to determine exactly what caused the symptoms you described, but it was likely the hydrocodone.  It can cause severe nausea, stomach pains, and dizziness. People occasionally have a bad reaction to hydrocodone even if they have taken it before. The symptoms you experienced were probably not due to an allergic reaction because they resolved so fast.

it sounds like you had an allergic reaction or OD to the Augmentin.  My Mom nearly died from Augmentin. It is a very strong drug and sometimes doctors go over board on the dosage.  Don't take anymore. Call your doctor and get a different, less harsh antibiotic.
