Will I get a infection after augmentation If I skip a dose of my antibiotics?

Athena2
I was prescribed antibiotics after my augmentation to continue taking for 10 days after the procedure. I haven't taken them at the same time everyday, but I have been taking them 4 times a day like I was told, my doctors nurse told me not to worry that it's okay, but I can't remember if I took tonight's dose for supper, so I decided to not take it just in case I already did. Instead I'm taking the one before bed and continuing my regular routine tomorrow. Will I get a infection??? I'm so worried about it!
