Hi, as per your history,if you know that tooth is having severe infection,plz visit dentist early.Only taking medicine will not solve your problem. You need treatment .It can be only decided when you consult. Even after taking good medicine, sometimes infection will not reduce. So plz don't wait.

hello, you need to visit a dentist and get it checked. get an x-ray done. you can do warm salt water rinses as a home remedy, but this will give you only temporary relief from pain. the best treatment for the infected wisdom tooth is to get it removed. consult an oral surgeon before taking any further medications.

If you know everything about this condition and the fact that you need antibiotics, why don't you even tell the name of the antibiotic which you want to be prescribed????? I am pretty sure that you are educated enough to understand that self medication should be avoided..... what makes you think that antibiotics can cure this infection?????  any treatment other than extraction for the offending wisdom tooth will only provide temporary relief...... taking any medication for a long time and specifically the pain killers can cause other problems by themselves.....
Next Steps
visit a dentist as soon as possible and plan for the extraction of this tooth for permanent relief from the symptoms
Health Tips
avoid self medication
