Abscess Tooth, Sharp Pain Under Jaw, Ear, Temples. Antibiotics Taken Previously, Currently On Amox. Suggestions?
I believe it's an absess tooth that has been going on for some while now in which I have completed antibiotics in the past. I am currently on amox that I've been taking since last Tuesday. The pain has gotten much worse and I'm now running 100.1 temp. Sharp pains under my jaw ear and temples. It literally has me in tears

Hello and welcome,
Abscess developed under tooth has to be drained and curetted.
Root canal treatment will help to drain the pus within the abscess.
Please do not take medicines without medical supervision.
I would suggest you to visit a dentist and get thorough clinical as well as x-ray evaluation done.
Maintain oral hygiene well.
The pain will disappear once the infected pulp as well as pus within the abscess has drained completely.
Hope this helps.
