A member asked:
Can i take the antibiotic(amoxil (amoxicillin) 250mgl)only for prevention and protection of infections after ear peircing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Poor choice: Amoxicillin is not a good choice for skin infections. You shouldn't need an antibiotic if ear piercing was done properly.
