Hello!Gone through your query.

You did not mention if it is a pericoronitis or a pulpitis . It is beta-lactam antibiotic and it can be used.You must also take analgesics for controlling pain.However I suggest you to check with your physician. You must get these wisdom teeth surgically removed as soon as the infection subsides.
