See a dentist: You cannot treat this problem with toothpaste and antibiotics alone.

Gum infection: Pastes, pills (may be the wrong antibiotic), ointments, mouth rinses, etc. will not cure gum infection. You need to see your Dentist or a gum specialist, a Periodontist, to treat the infection. The longer you wait, the worse it will become. Call now.

See a dentist: You need to see your dentist to determine what is causing the infection. You might also consider adding rinsing with warm salt water several times a day. Make sure the water is salty, take a mouthful, and swish it around for a minute or so, then spit it out.

Infected gums: It is time to see a dentist to determine the treatment necessary to get rid of the gum infection. Antibiotics will not resolve the problem without treatment of the cause of the infection.

Professional help : no toothpaste can cure gum disease. Antibiotics can help but must be combined with professional scaling and root planing. A dentist is your best friend if you have disease in your mouth.

Infected gums: See your dentist or dental hygienist as soon as you can. Different antibiotics work on different people-You need 10 days to let the antibiotics to work. You need to have your teeth cleaned ASAP. I am not familiar with your toothpaste type.

The best way: to treat gum disease is to practice good oral hygiene, although additional dental and medical treatments are always necessary. See a dentist for evaluation, x-rays and treatment.
