Could be: Could be reaction to the antibiotic. Talk to Dentist immediately. Could be abscess (infection) is overcoming your immune system and you are becoming septic. Talk to Dentist immediately. If Dentist not available, immediately go to ER.

See a dentist ASAP: The abscess won't go away without treatment and the infection may spread to your jaw, cheeks, sinus and to other areas of your head and neck. You can use take clindamycin to clear the infection or NSAID OTC or Tylenol (acetaminophen) for pain control. However, see a dentist ASAP for assessment and treatment..
