A member asked:
3 weeks ago i ended up with a wisdom tooth infection and got amoxicillin. the infection weand it came back can the doctor rewrite another prescription?

Maybe: The doctor may give you a different prescription but that would be just another temporary solution. If your wisdom teeth are the cause of your infection than they need to be removed. You need to see a dentist/ oral surgeon immediately.
