Hi
Thanks for posting your query on HCM.
Take Ibuprofen for your headache.
Apparently the tooth infection has developed into abscess may be due to lack of response to the antibiotics.
So, this abscess has to be surgically drained under local anesthesia, you will have to visit your treating dental surgeon.

Hope this answers your query.
