I have had an ear infection ( I think it is) for ages and now my gp had prescribed amoxicillin. I am reluctant to take them as I am scared of the side effects, diarrhea, thrush etc. I have not taken them before. I could do with something for my ear but I don't want more problems. I just worry about everything, I'm going on holiday in 3 weeks and I always stress about that. Reviews I have read about amoxicillin sound bad and could last a while so don't want to jeopardise the holiday.
