Asked By:bellablanco in Los Angeles, CA

Hello there I had buccal fat removal in December ( 4months ago) and I got a infection on one of my checks! The doctor gave Amoxicillin and clavulanic acid to kill the infection but after months it does not seem to be working and one of my checks is very swollen. Please tell me what medicine to take or any home remedies I could do to help this as I don't trust the doctor no more!!
