HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The response to antibiotic therapy can sometimes be delayed. In addition to continuing your present course of antibiotics you may want to consider the use of anti inflammatory pain killers.
Examples are ibuprofen, cataflam, naproxen. These are available over the counter.
If after a few days of antibiotics and pain medication therapy there is no relief then you may want to see your doctor or dentist for reassessment.
It is possible that a different type of antibiotic may be needed.
I hope this helps
