Question

a patient with no known drug allergies is receiving amoxicillin [amoxil] po twice daily. twenty minutes after being given a dose, the patient complains of shortness of breath. the patient’s blood pressure is 100/58 mm h

Answer 1

First off The dosage should not be no more than 20 to 40 mg per kilogram of body weight. So it would be best for an anesthesiologist to look at the milligram edge of amoxicillin and reevaluate it depending on the wait on the patient to make sure that they are administering the correct amount of amoxicillin by oral route. The doctor then should run a chest x-ray and an EKG to make sure that there’s no heart rhythmic issues or any kind of mucus blocking the airway amoxicillin can do that to certain people depending on the milligrams given to the patient
