Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Number of participants with adverse events (AE) and serious adverse events
(SAEs) [From start of treatment (Day 1) to follow-up visit at Day 28] (AEs and
SAEs will be collected). 
Day 1, Day 28 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Proportion of patients with primary clinical response. [From start of treatment (Day 1) to end of therapy visit at Day 12-14] At the end of therapy (EOT) visit (Days 12 to 14),the primary clinical response will be evaluated in terms of the study interventions effectiveness or failure. A clinical cure or improvement will be considered a treatment success at EOT. A participant whose clinical outcome is clinical failure (owing to worsening or non-improvement in symptoms) or unable to determine is considered to have failed the treatment.
 
Day 1, Day 14, Day 28 
Proportion of patients with secondary clinical response [From end of treatment visit (Day 12-14) to follow up visit at Day 22-28]. At follow-up (Days 22 to 28), secondary clinical response will be evaluated in terms of the success or failure of the study intervention. Treatment failure will be clinical recurrence or inability to determine, while treatment success will be lasting clinical cure.

 
Day 14, Day 28 
Time to clinical response evaluated using disease specific subject diary card.  Day 1, Day 14, Day 28 
Incidence of protocol defined diarrhoea (PDD) (due to study medication) [From start of treatment (Day 1) to end of therapy visit at Day 12-14] The protocol defines diarrhoea as having three or more watery stools in a single day, four or more loose/watery stools in a single day, two watery stools in a row, or three loose/watery stools in a row.  Day 1, Day 14

Brief Summary   The study is a prospective, interventional, open-label, non-comparative, multicentric study using a comparative enrolment of participants from 4 sites throughout India. The test drug is amoxicillin and Potassium Clavulanate 600/42.9 mg (14:1) per 5 ml powder for reconstitution into Oral Suspension which will be administered orally once every 12 hours depending on the dose prescribed. There are three visits in the study (Visit 1,Visit 2 and Visit 3). Visit1 (Day 1) is screening visit where subject will be screened as per study inclusion and exclusion criteria’s. Eligible subject will be enrolled into the study and IP will will be dispensed on same day. IP will prescribed as per prescribing instruction mentioned in study protocol and a dairy card will dispensed to the subject to record their symptoms on daily basis. Subject will revisit the site on V2 (Day 14) and symptoms will be checked, IP compliance will be verified and diary card will be reviewed by Investigator. CBC will be performed at V1 and V2 for safety purpose. Subject will revisit the site on V3 (Day 28) for End of study visit. PI will check the recurrence of symptoms status during this visit.
