    No it won’t do that..however antibiotics are absolutely necessary. Call your dentist ASAP. ITS best to get the infection under control now before it has a chance to spread to bone. Best treatment is antibiotics . Good luck.

    Just ask your dentist to take it out. Antibiotics are very bad for you and should only be given out in life or death situations.
