It's probably OK, but to be sure, call a pharmacist. They are so smart and kind and helpful. If you need a 24-your pharmacist, look in the Yellow Pages under "Pharmacies." He/She will guide you. You'll see. :)
Reply:It should be ok to take it without an infection
Reply:well it wont hurt you but you may be taking the wrong antibiotic. Some antibiotics are for some infections and some are for another. It is best to get a prescription for that ailment and finish the antibiotic. You are never supposed to have left over antibiotic.











Good luck I hope you feel better.
Reply:It isn't necessarily bad to take antibiotics if you don't already have an infection, although we discourage it. It won't HURT you to take some, if that is what you are worried about. I'm not sure you need any. It sounds to me like you need to find a dentist, as you could have a very serious cavity causing your jaw, head, and ear discomfort. More than likely, the on-call doctor will give you something for pain, but not an antibiotic, and tell you to follow up with a dentist. I hope this helps!
Reply:Never take an antibiotic without a prescription(you should not have any left over from any illness, anyway). But do not use antibiotics unless your doctor says to do so, as they mess up your body. If you have had this toothache for a week, why on the weekend do you think it is an emergency? One more day won't do that much damage, and you can then do the wide thing and get into a dentist. In the meantime, put heat on the side of your face, and take an aspirin. You will be fine, but take better care of yourself. The world needs you healthy.
Reply:If you aren't already taking ibuprophen...do it now! 400 to 600 mgs every four hours if needed.
