Hello, Oscar! How are you? I'm sorry about the cut.

An antibiotic is really only needed, if it becomes infected. Taking one inappropriately could cause you to develop antibiotic resistant bacteria.

Is it showing any signs of redness or swelling? Have you had it checked out by a medical professional?

The FDA lists the typical side effects of antibiotics as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.
