How To Treat A Swollen Puss Filled Gums Before An Extraction?

My problem started with my right side of the mouth getting swollen. I saw a dentist the very next day and they asked me to get an xray done and put me on antibiotics. They said I had an impacted wisdom tooth and it should be extracted. I had to go out of town the next day, so I just took a pain killer and forgot about it. But after I got back, the pain got worse. So, I started taking the following antibiotics: Metrogyl 400 twice, Taxim-O twice, Lyser Forte twice, B-Plex forte twice. I have been having these antibiotics since the past 7 days and I can still see pus coming out of my gums. The doctor asked me to come to extract the tooth after the infection subsided. My mouth has a terrible taste, I'm feeling weak and dizzy. Please help.
