I took 3 today. 1st one at 2:15pm and seccond at 5:30pm and the last one at 8pm. I know i supossed to have more of time gap, but i took my last 2 painkillers allowed  for the day so i can sleep before the pain starts. Is this oke? For today. Also i did not eat much today. As it hurts more after food
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. As far as the amoxicillin 500 mg is concerned, you can take it only 3 times a day, since it has a plasma half life of 8 hours. If you take more it might result in toxicity. It is applicable for the painkillers also. Nothing to be panic, if I am your treating doctor, I would have suggested you to take amoxicillin 3 times daily along with metronidazole two times daily, this combination is proved to be of great success. Do saline gargling. Once you complete the course of antibiotics, get the tooth removed by consulting an oral maxillofacial surgeon. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
