Suggest Treatment For Tooth Pain

I am in Costa Rica and have had tooth pain for 2 months, the doctor found/treated and infection and replaced filling, but I still have pain. Now my eye on that side is red and swollen. How serious is this? Should I drive 4 hours to ER or can I wait until my Wednesday appt with specialist? I am on Penicillan starting yesterday.
