Hello
The eye pain in your appears to be because of referred pain from tooth abscess as you are also having tooth abscess. The eyes being situated near to the tooth, the pain can be easily referred to the eyes.
Hence I advice you to continue antibiotic amoxycillin and along with that you need analgesics and antiinflammatory drugs for pain relief.

Thank you
