What does amoxycillin trihydrate do? What kind of infection is it for?

Question:

Answers:
It is a second generation pencillin, which means it was developed after pencillin (the first antibiotic to be developed). It is commonly used for Otitis Media (middle ear infections), Strept throat, upper respiratory infections and cellulitis (skin infections). It is a relatively weak antibiotic but doctors oftentimes prescribe this antibiotic first and, if it doesn't help, they prescribe stronger antibiotics. Stronger antibiotics have greater risk of side-effects; therefore, doctors always try the weaker antibiotics first.
