It depends why you're having the pain.

If it's due to an infection, then yes, the antibiotic can help. Its typical side effects, as listed by the FDA, may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

However, if they are impacted, or otherwise growing in wrong the antibiotic will not help.

Have you consulted your dentist? Regardless of what the problem is, it will still have to be corrected to prevent it from recurring in the future.
