You are OK: You are asking about a clostridium difficile infection as a result of the Amoxicillin and wisdom tooth infection? That is a serious intestinal infection that very rarely happens when the bacteria is present and a broad spectrum antibiotic is used. The most common broad spectrum antibiotic used in dentistry is clindamycin. Just use the peroxide. You are going to be fine.

Wisdom tooth : Regardless if the wisdom tooth infection is small or large, it would be in your best interest to visit a general dentist or an oral maxillofacial surgeon for an evaluation and treatment. Discuss your options and choose the option that you feel most comfortable with.

See a dentist: When wisdom teeth cause problems, they need to come out. If you are experiencing pain, swollen gums, lymph nodes and it does not go away or if you find it difficult to open your mouth, you should see a dentist for evaluation, x-ray and wisdom teeth removal.
