Thanks for using Health Care Magic.

Read your query.

The pain the tooth suggests suggests an abscess in relation to the decayed tooth,the pain being radiated to the head and eye region.

Since you already are taking antibiotics ,complete relief will only be upon treatment of the tooth .
I would advice yo to visit an emergency ,so that they can plan out a treatment for which will they need a radio graph and root canal treatment to follow.

DO salt water gargling.
Avoid placing any hot bag externally.

Amoxicillin thrice a day and brufen whenever required may help the pain but the treatment is to done at the earliest.

Hope this was useful.
Thanks and regards.
