Working a temp job(may not even have that since i took today off cuz of swelling n pain) the dental schools in the area arent accepting new patients till mid november ...and i dnt meet eligibility for low cost dental iin the area.

You might want to try and call a pharmacy.

You can go to the ER for it certainly, they will give you the correct prescription for the antibiotic and possibly some samples if you ask nicely, plus some pain killers. Just beware, if they don't have samples then you'll have to buy the meds yourself and their very expensive. Cipro is a full spectrum antiobiotic, typically will work. I've taken it for all sorts of ailments before, not just intestinal. Give it a try, worst that will happen is you'll get a yeast infection if you're female or build up immunity to antiobiotics.

WELL CIPRO MAY HELP IF ITS A GUM INFECTION, HOWEVER, U REALLY SHOULDN'T SELF-MEDICATE. ALSO U HAVE TO CHECK THE EXPIRY DATE ON THEM. AS FOR THE PAIN AND SWELLING CIPRO WON'T DO MUCH. TRY TAKING SOME ADVIL GEL CAPS THAT'LL HELP WITH THE PAIN (THEY WORKED 4 ME) IF NO RESULTS ER CAN PROBABLY GIVE U SOMETHING LIKE VOLTAREN FOR TH EPAIN AND SWELLING. WELL THAT'S AS MUCH AS I CAN THINK OF RITE NOW

ciprofloxacin will not help, penicillin vk or amoxicillin will buy you a little time but will not fix anything. dental schools should still take you as an emergency patient even if you are new, but be prepared to spend all day there. sounds like it's time to pull the tooth out, so be prepared for that. it's cheapest, and it'll be what fixes the problem fastest.

Cipro is a good broad spectrum antibiotic. You would be well-advised to ask a doctor or a pharmacist first.
Don't ever start taking any antibiotic unless you have at least a week's supply.

Cipro (ciprofloxacin) is an antibiotic belonging to a group of drugs called fluoroquinolones. Ciprofloxacin fights bacteria in the body.
Cipro is used to treat different types of bacterial infections. It is also used to treat people who have been exposed to anthrax.
Cipro may cause swelling or tearing of a tendon (the fiber that connects bones to muscles in the body), especially in the Achilles' tendon of the heel. This effect may be more likely to occur if you are over 60, if you take steroid medication, or if you have had a kidney, heart, or lung transplant.
Cipro is usually taken every 12 hours. Follow all directions on your prescription label. Do not take this medicine in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.
Do not take this medicine with dairy products such as milk or yogurt, or with calcium-fortified juice. You may eat or drink these products as part of a regular meal, but do not use them alone when taking Cipro. They could make the medication less effective.

Cipro is for intestinal problems.
