Brief Answer:
Probably an infection of dental pulp, follow the advice below.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to pulpitis which is the inflammation of dental pulp.

Some advice that I can give to you is:
-continue the prescribed antibiotics given by your dentist.
-use painkillers such as Ibuprofen 400 mg three times a day for the next 2-3 days
-use cold compresses for local relief
-salt water rinses may prevent infection to spread

I think that you will feel better in a few days after taking the prescribed antibiotics so don't worry.

Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
