Antibiotics usage
I had sinus and ear infection last week. I went to Dr and they gave me amoxicillin/clav antibiotics for 5 days which I will finish today. (Thursday)
Tomorrow I have scheduled for tongue biopsy and wisdom tooth extraction (one tooth) with my dentist. He said he will give antibiotics after extraction for a week starting from tomorrow.
Should I postpone the extraction visit because of antibiotics usage continuously. I am concerned about taking more antibiotics continuously.
Is it ok to take antibiotics like this often? Should I postpone the extraction?

If you are taking antibiotics in continuation then the total requirement of the medicines may be less. And you are taking a better brand of antibiotics which will work for all these diseases.
You should not change your antibiotics.
