its not recommended to skip an antibiotic dose. most people hv nausea due to flagyl for which additional antiemetics can be added to make it tolerable. ie domeperidone or metoclopramide. but a single day missed dose wont do u much harm ie the tooth abscess would most probably get fully covered even with the missed dose. thanx
