Hi..
Welcome to HCM..

As per your complain it seems that you are suffering from adverse effects of Amoxicillin and the symptoms of confusion, hot flashes and headache along with fall of blood pressure are all due to it..

You should immediately stop taking Amoxicillin and consult an Emergency room first of all to get proper monitoring of your blood pressure done and get proper medications for it like Adrenaline for maintaining your blood pressure..

Then you can consult your dentist who can change your medication and advise you another group of antibiotic that will not cause adverse reaction..
For permanent resolution of tooth related problem either root canal treatment or extraction depending on condition of tooth will be done..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
