I have a tooth infection n dr put me on augmentin if i had a jaw infection would the augmentin take care of that to?

Probably : Augmenting is a very effective treatment for many jaw/mouth bacterial infections. See your dentist if there is persistent pain,swelling, pus or bad taste/odor. Augmenting will not cure an abscessed tooth.
