Amoxicillin is an oral antibiotic that treats a range of bacterial infections, including nasal infections.
Nose infections are often caused by the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus. This bacteria is part of your microbiome and is usually harmless. But when it enters your body through a break in the skin, it can lead to infections. While most infections are mild, some can become serious.
Bacterial infections often resolve on their own, but if your symptoms persist or worsen, you’ll need to treat them with antibiotics.
Amoxicillin is a penicillin antibiotic that inhibits transpeptidation, a process that bacteria use to build their cell wall. Without a cell wall, bacteria can’t grow and eventually die.[1]
You must finish your full course of antibiotics to prevent re-infection. Even if you feel better, there’s a chance the bacteria is still in your body. Finishing the course of antibiotics ensures the bacteria is completely gone.
Amoxicillin is available in two doses: 250mg and 500mg. The dosage you’ll be given varies depending on the severity of your infection. For adults, it’s typically 250mg to 500mg three times a day for a week.

To take Amoxicillan:
You should complete your full course of antibiotics even if you feel better. This ensures the bacteria is completely gone and prevents reinfection.
If you don’t feel better after you finish treatment, let your doctor know. You may need another round of antibiotics.
Although Amoxicillin starts to work immediately, it will take around three days to notice an improvement in your symptoms.
If you took more than the prescribed dose, you might experience side effects, such as:
Contact your doctor for medical advice if you experience any side effects.
If you forget to take a dose, don’t worry. Take the missed dose as soon as you remember and wait at least four hours before taking the next dose. Taking two doses close together increases the risk of side effects. Don’t take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
