filling may need root canal?

filling may need root canal?

i had a filling done 5 days ago and it was quite a deep filling it was only yesterday it really started to hurt around the tooth and is getting worse now hurting my face and jaw. i went back to the dentist today and he gave me an xray (which looked ok) and antibiotics for an infection, tho was quite vague not actually sure if i have an infection and saud it wont cure it long term and says pain will return and the only 2 options are root canal or extract the tooth.

i dont see how the antibiotics wont cure it? it doesnt make sense to have root canal or the tooth removed when ive only got an infection and im sure this is caused by him drilling to deep in the 1st place
