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.

I got a sudden rash behind my neck/upper back area 2 days ago. Itches all over but the welts are only on neck/back/head and behind my ears. The little welts look similar to chickenpox and are puss filled. Possible COVID? My daughter was exposed?
