Not bacterial: The bacterial infection treated with antibiotics can take some time to resolve down in ths jawbone. Usually it is starting to be controled by amox within3-4 days. May need different antibiotic. It may be a viral infection on side of jaw or throat. There are other diseases that can have similar signs and symptoms. Go back to your dentist for re-evaluation.

Hard to tell: Infections are usually resolved with antibiotics. But a toothache from a tooth with a vital nerve can cause your symtoms and will be unaffected by an antibiotic. It may also be your wisdom tooth erupting. Have your dentist take a look.

Return: After 4 days on antibiotics you should have seen relief if the bacteria were susceptible to the rx. Time to return to the dentist, reevaluate cause and change the rx of antibiotics.
