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
