My toothache infection has returned, can i start taking amoxicillin again?

Yes: If you received Amoxicillin for an infection then you need to see a dentist. The cause of the infection needs to be found and treated. Serious consequences can occur from relying on an antibiotic and not seeking treatment.

Yes: But this does not solve the problem of what is causing the infection. See your dentist and get proper treatment to solve the problem.

Not without advice: Before you begin taking any prescription medications on your own, you should see a dentist for a definitive diagnosis of your problem. An antibiotic may not solve your problem.
