Some antibiotics that are sold for animals can be used on humans as long as it says on the medicine package or bottle that it's safe for human consumption.

One animal antibiotic that comes to mind that is safe for human use is Penicillin. Penicillin is a good antibiotic for tooth infections in humans and is used for other animals as well including fish.
