Wisdom tooth pain: Antibiotics will only diminish the symptoms, but will not solve your issues. See your local dentist to determine if that tooth needs extraction.

Antibiotics: This is one of those a little bit of knowledge is a dan serous thing. Ifny9ou have tooth or gum infection antibiotic will control spread of in fiction only as long as you take it. Actual dental treatment is required to treat infection. Pain could be from viral or fungal infection (which antibiotics do not treat), burn, trauma, scratch, erupting wisdom tooth, throat infection, etc. See a Dentist.
