No: Antibiotics are for infections, and you do not know if you have an infection. Even if you do, antibiotics will not solve your dental problems. In addition, any old antibiotic from your medicine cabinet won't do... you need one specifically for dental infections. Please call a dentist for an appointment.

Not recommended: Taking antibiotics you do not need will not help you feel better, cure your illness, or diminish your pain. See a dentist or OMS for consultation imaging and proper treatment.
