See your doctor: Tooth pain usually caused by infection that is mainly dental cares or infection around the tooth that can affect the gingiva or the bones, causing either local infection or can spread elsewhere There are different regimens for antibiotic treatment that including amoxicillin + metronidazole or amoxicellin-clavulonic acid etc. I suggest you visit your doctor to revise your antibiotic precscription

Antibiotics: Antibiotics are just that, not pain killers. How do you know if you have an infection? Because you have pain? Not always the case. Antibiotics will not solve your dental issues, only prolong the inevitable, a visit to a dentist. The sooner you go for treatment, the sooner you will feel beter.

Antibiotics: Antibiotics are used to control spread of infection, not cure pain (they are not pain killers). As inflammation decreases pain may partially or fully subside, but will return once course of antibiotics has been completed. Dental treatment (root canal, extraction, or gum treatment) required to eliminate infection entirely. See your Dentist for appropriate treatment.

Amoxicillin : will help keep the infection from spreading, but only your dentist can make your pain go away by treating the infected tooth. See him/her today.
