It sounds like you're getting an abscess.  The antibiotics will help but the tooth probably need a root canal to treat the underlying cause.

Did they do an xray? I feel for you in the pain area. I am nycgirl40 and dealing with the healing of a dry socket. Sounds like an infection but I am not a dentist. I feel for everyone with tooth pain and I hope you feel better soon. I am getting a second opinion on my case on Monday and though I am nervous to go I am going to a state of the art facility and hope to be able to end this and put my mind at ease and enjoy my life again because it seems as though it has been on hold for over a month and I hate it
