Should i take flucloxacillin capsules to get rid of tooth infection?

No: At best it is a temporary measure. You need to see a dentist.

Not advisable: Antibiotics do not treat the cause, they just treat the symptoms. You need to see a dentist to either restore the tooth or extract it. Self medicating only prolongs the inevitable.. A visit to the dentist. Call for an appointment asap.
