Whether or not you can get an appointment, at least ask the dentist's office. Nobody should take any antibiotic without health professional advice. Also see the reply to your other question.

The antibiotics are not curing your dental problem and your symptoms could get worse so that you won't be able to take your exams. Treating yourself is not the answer, your infection is spreading, so go to an out patient walk-in dental clinic after exam hours.
