Pl see your dentist: Antibiotics will only help so much. The tooth needs to be evaluated by a dentist. Please inform that you are on warfarin as it might need to be stopped for a few days if the tooth needs to be extracted.

Infected teeth: Antibiotics only provide temporary relief of infected teeth. The longer you wait to have them treated, the worse the infections will become. At some point the antibiotics will cease to be effective. Please see a dentist as soon as possible.

Priorities: Infection can't be cured w pills, as you have found out. Teeth need to be physically treated. You have to find a way to rearrange your priorities to synchronize your schedule with Dentist or specialists that can see you and treat you NOW. Don't put this off.
