A member asked:
I had a tooth infection a few months ago due to impacted molars, i did not have time to get them removed, my infection is back. this is third time my infection has happened within a year. can i take amoxicillin again or do i risk resistance bacteria?

No, it should work. However, if you do not see any improvement in 48-72 hours then the antibiotic should be changed. Good luck.

Taking medication doesn't solve your problem. Now take the time to see a dentist before the infection spreads and more problems arise.
