Explanation: You have visited a doctor who has prescribed you amoxicillin plus clavulinic acid for your infection is well and good. Just follow his orders without fail for rapid relief. Any simple cut takes at least a week time for complete healing and varies if infection s there. So have patience take medication and be cool. Good luck
