Does amoxicillin for tooth infection take the pain away?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
tooth infection: Amoxicillin may help indirectly with pain. As the infection subsides and swelling goes down pain should also gradually diminish. A pain medication is usually prescribed to be taken along with the antibiotic. This combination should help a lot. Finish up with needed treatment or the pain will return.

Possibly: Antibiotic is given to treat the infection. If the size of the infection decreases, the discomfort should be alleviated. Antibiotic alone does not directly address the discomfort.
