What is the problem?: You don't really give a reason for not seeing a dentist. If it's monetary, then tell the dentist up front and they can work something out. if you're afraid..it ain't going to go away. Your only alternatives are see you your primary care doctor and hope he will give you some or try a doc-in-the-box. Don't wait too long and let your tooth rot or break. Then you'll have worse problems.

Need exam: Can’t give any prescription without seeing a patient for an exam, you may need something else, you may be allergic, you may have other complications from the medications... bottom line you must be seen by a doctor , you can go to the ER or a local clinic. Stay safe

Toothache: Antibiotics reduce the spread of infection, but can't get inside the tooth to treat the cause of your problem. With proper examination, a Physician or Dentist may prescribe an antibiotic to reduce inflammation, but the infection will come roaring back as soon as you stop taking the pills. You must see a Dentist, and you can't put this off.

Infection ?: Antibiotics are for infections. If you are not infected, no need for them. Please see a local dentist to be properly diagnosed and treated.
