Antibiotics generally take 24 to 48 hours to get into the blood stream and take hold of the infection. You then need to stay on them long enough to kill the bacteria. So you may need additional medication.

Your intense pain is not normal if the bone were healthy. If the oral surgeon will not see you, then get in to see a different oral surgeon.

I hope you get relief soon.
