Oral surgery
I had an apioectomy on tooth 19 on Tuesday. The endodontist said I didn’t need an antibiotic. But I’m worried. So far I’m ok, but still wondering if it’s ok to go without. I don’t do well with most of them and am allergic to some. I’m 71 and live alone. I’m otherwise healthy, but very anxious

If the doctor did not prescribe and you are doing fine, it's better to go by the doctors decision as he/ she is the one who has personally seen the case.
