Shall i take oral antibiotic klavox 375g or augmantin after my new ear peircing? i feel little pain + itching in my neck from one side

Neither yet: Both of these antibiotics are essentially the same thing with varying dose of amoxacillin. I generally recommend taking antibiotics for an infection. If you have redness, swelling, heat/fever, and pain then you can start on either antibiotic but until then you can keep the piercings clean and apply antibiotic oinment.
