A member asked:
I have an abscess the last time i had it they gave me amoxicillin, is it possible to get it over the counter or by prescription only?

Must see doctor: Sorry, but there is no getting around it: you must see a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment. If amoxicillin worked last time, that REDUCES the chance it would be effective now. You must not simply take amoxicilin; that could be dangerous. See a doctor. Good luck.
