A member asked:
Is 875mg amoxacillan a good idea as a precaution in case i have an ear infection? or can i take half the dose? i find that the 875mg is for severe infections?

No: Taking antibiotics without confirming ear infection is not a good idea at all. No antibiotics is without side effects. Moreover, if you take inadequate amount of antibiotics, you are taking risk of leaving resistant bacteria in your body.
