Is antibiotic necessary

Hi I’m 20yo F and just have a dry socket treatment after my wisdom tooth extraction. The dentist prescribed me with an antibiotic and I just want to ask if it’s necessary to eat because I’ve already eaten so much antibiotic starting from July. So until December I’ve eaten like 6 doses of antibiotic (amoxilin and beamoxy) already.

I’m scared to eat this one because I’m afraid of antibiotic resistance. I really need an insight of this situation. Thank you :heart:
