You usually take Amoxicillin 500mg as a preventative measure for bacterial growth. Normally, it's one capsule by mouth three times daily for a duration of seven days. However if your tooth is already infected you may want to follow up with a healthcare professional or dentist to reduce your risk of forming an abscess, which is more trouble then what it is worth.

Usually on the third day ,you will see signs of the infection decreasing. By the 7th day it shold be cleared by amoxcillin. Take with ibruprofen for the pain and infammation. Good luck

Is 500 mg amoxicillin to much for 65lb boy?

No, this dosage is right if it's given twice a day. 500 mg twice a day is fine for most infections. He must be not allergic to penicillin. ADDED: This is not the place to seek specific medication advice, especially for a third-party, and a child at that. The proper person to ask is your doctor who can diagnose the actual illness and prescribe the proper medication and its dose, for the individual patient.

Will vodka help a tooth infection?

vodka may help in that you may not notice the pain of a tooth infection as much, but it will not cure the infection. You will need an antibiotic to assist with that. Please see your dentist. Tooth infections may become severe and affect other parts of your body, such as your jaw or your heart.
