Hello, Nary! How are you?

Yes, you still need to see your dentist and have this problem corrected. Otherwise, the infection will just keep returning, because the roots of the tooth are still exposed and it's very easy for bacteria to get in, which will cause another infection and more pain.

An antibiotic only treats the bacteria that cause the infection, it doesn't correct the underlying problem with the tooth that allowed the infection to occur. Typical side effects to antibiotics, as listed by the FDA, may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

Have you consulted your dentist?
