I'm going to india on feb 2. my doctor perscribed mefloquine for me to take. but i have a tooth ache. another doctor perscribed amoxicillin be taken. which one should i take?

Fix it: Don't travel w/ a tooth ache. Once you get on a plane, the pressure changes can increase the severity of the pain. Get the diagnosis of the pains cause, and have it treated before you go to india! you don't want your trip ruined by neglecting to see a dentist. I highly recommend an endodontist!

Ok: The Mefloquine is an anti malaria drug. Amoxicillin is for the tooth ache infection. If possible try to fix your tooth problem before you go on your trip.

Don't wait!: Make sure you get a complete and thorough dental examination as soon as possible. Then make sure that you get whatever dental treatment is necessary to prevent a flare-up or dental emergency while you are away. If that happens, you will not be a happy camper trying to find a competent dentist to treat you. Don't rely on medications alone. When you get back, complete the rest of your treatment.
