Infection: Assuming the throat infection is bacterial and from the tooth and your doctor prescribed the appropriate antibiotic regimen, the infection should begin to resolve within a couple of days. However, I hope your are also receiving the necessary dental treatment to address the tooth infection. Antibiotics alone will not eliminate the cause of the dental infection.
