Cellophane You for contacting Chat Doctor. Welcome to Chat Doctor. My name is Chat Doctor. I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way. It seems to be the same infection again, there are two possibilities 1-You didn't take the suggested course completely just took antibiotic till things got well and left, some germs left destroyed, and they have grown again to cause issues.  2- Kids are kids, he might have bite nor somehow damaged inside of cheek with a thing which had germs on or a dirty nail and infection flared up. Suggestion: Use the same medication as your doctor previously suggested because it suited him and cured him i won't suggest a new one here as i don't know his age and weight, teach him not to bite insides of mouth and keep his hands clean.,,,Please complete the antibiotics course this time If you don't see improvement in three days consult the doctor again. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. Wishing him good health
