Give it time: If the itching doesn't stop over the next few days, you may need to switch medications. Best of luck!

Itching: Fungal overgrowth may be due to antibiotic causing drop in normal bacterial levels. Antibiotic will control spread of bacteria from infected tooth until you stop taking it, but it will not cure tooth. Probably need root canal Rx or extraction. Talk to your Dentist. Also talk to your OBGyn about another course of anti-fungal.
