HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It would take a few days for the antibiotics to start working effectively so if you started them yesterday, no effect would have been noted as yet.
At this stage you would need to combine pain killers with the antibiotics.
Anti inflammatory pain killers may work best for you. Examples are ibuprofen, naproxen, cataflam, ketofen
If there has been no response after 2 to 3 days then it would be best for you to be reviewed by your doctor.
I hope this helps
