You need to call your dentist or doctor for a recommendation. You can't just decide this on your own.

Exactly !
Do you know how dangerous this is ?
I know meds can be obtained illegally but the abscess is by your brain !
1- as mentioned, the dentist will order it.
2 - there is a reason for the abscess . It's usually a bad tooth.
3 - it needs to be fixed and you need a person that has spent years in school ordering the antibiotics .
4 This could be a life and death situation !!!
