i have read through your query in detail. please find my observations below. amoxicillin is still a better antibiotic for dental abscess as compared to other medicines. it is the first choice of medicine even for dental abscess. it is better to continue with amoxycillin as a treatment option for her. metronidazole or clindamycin is given only in case of severe infection. the order of preference of drugs for dental abscess in a patient is: amoxicillin erythromycin or clarithromycin or clindamycin metronidazole. ciprofloxacin is usually not given at first. she can be given amoxicillin on her next appointment as well. the above information is as per latest updates on pharmacological treatment of dental abscess. please keep in mind any allergy the patient might have to any of the medications and prescribe an alternative choice. hope this answers your question. please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements. revert back to a pharmacologist online for further follow up --> <link>
