The reason for the antibiotics is to kill the infection which is what is causing your pain - the problem is that they can take 48 - 72 hours to work!
Try swishing salt water around the infected area - nasty - but it relieved my pain from an absessed wisdom tooth. I also held an icepack against my jaw - it relieved the pain enough for me to sleep. I have also heard that clove oil works - or vodka swished around the infected area!
Good Luck!

This may sound crazy but it works. Take a pilled potato and bite down on it with the tooth that hurts. Hold it there for 10 minutes. When you take the potato out you will see that it has turned black from the infection inside your tooth.

Taking and finishing the antibiotic is the most important part which will start to relieve the pain after a couple of consistent doses.

It's probably an abscess in your tooth, just see a dentist and get drained, some medication and gone in a short while.

JESS,
JUST FOR RIGHT NOW, TAKE SOME IBUPROFEN (ADVIL) AND CALL THE DENTIST FOR AN APPOINTMENT. GOOD LUCK.
