It is not dangerous but bacterial resistance and ineffective (failed) treatment due to an incorrect diagnosis are my concerns. If diarrhea occurs when retaking amoxicillin then you should stop and notify your doctor. You may need a second opinion for whatever problem you have at this time because repeated course of amoxicillin the third time in 3 months does not seem acceptable. Good luck.
