Will this dosage get rid of a tooth abscess infection?


My ears nose throat Doctor saw me before I had a tooth abscess and gave me Rx “for any hidden bacteria in mouth” I kept the bottle for a few weeks, but held off on taking it. Then the other night I woke up with part of my gum swollen into a ball on top of my wisdom tooth. Will the Rx the ENT gave me get rid of this infection? It is Amoxicillin and Clavulanate Potassium tablets, USP 875mg/125Mg. 20 tablets take ten days two times a day.   What do you think? Thank you for I am in desperate need of help and I will have a visit to a dentist in person as well.

Most likely.  Amoxicillin is a great antibiotic for an oral infection and usually works.  Of course, there are times when the bacteria may be more resistant to it but most likely it'll help.
