Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

This is not related to amoxicillin intake. It is due to the root pain at tooth extraction site with referred pain to the ear also.

Follow suggested guidelines to get better early.
• Gargle with salted lukewarm water and added peppermint oil 4 to 5 times a day
• Drink more of the liquids preferably green tea, coffee
• Consume only soft diet
• Avoid excess chilled, spicy, hard stuff to be chewed with difficulty
• Chew food properly and slowly
• Take analgesic tablets in proper dose as 3 times a day after meals
• Consult your doctor for another dose of changed antibiotic with added anti-inflammatory agents if required at all
• 5 gm of turmeric with 30 mL of drinking water 2 times a day work as best herbal supporter
• Avoid excess shouting
• Avoid smoking or alcohol
• Have regular sound sleep of 7 to 8 hours

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Purva Patel
