Root Canal Treatment With A Couple Of Fillings Done On Right Side. Could The Jaw Pain Be An Infection Or Just Nerve Pain?

I had a root canal along with a couple fillings done on the right side of my mouth close to 2 months ago. I haven't been able to eat or drink on that side since but starting last week, I've been on constant OTC pain meds due to severe jaw pain on the right side that radiates to my ear. I was on antibiotics after my procedures. I am concerned whether this could be an infection or just nerve pain?
