Hello, Cheryl! How are you?
This is an antibiotic to help clear up the infection, but it will not relieve the pain. However, the pain will ease, as the infection clears up, but it usually takes about 3 days for the antibiotic to start working. If the pain continues past 3 days, then you will need to see your doctor or dentist, again.
The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.
Is there anything else I can help with?
