my mouth hurts!! sos

Posted , 2 users are following.

So i had some cavities i had to get filled.. it was ok after he filled them but the next day it started hurting. my tooth is sensitive now (more than it was - it hurts to breathe air from my mouth) and it hurts in my jaw and shoots up to my the bottom of my ear.. i waited because 1) these pains are on and off , they're not constant all day pains. and 2) i thought it was normal to be in weird pains after filling deep cavities. So when i looked at it i noticed there was still holes by my gums (where he drilled it) that have not been filled. idk if it could be that or not or what it is.. I couldn't take it any more and i finally went back in and he scanned all my teeth on that side and said he cant see anything wrong but that my gums are a little red and it could be an infection .. so he gave me amoxicillin 500mg to take 3 times a day.. im on day 2 and not really any difference in the pain and im so very tired.. im freaking out thinking im gonna die bc of how tired i am, the pain im in, and the fact that if i DO have an infection its right by my brain .. im so so so scared.. idk what to do at this point .. i have very bad health anxiety and ive been doing better with it like so much better but then this happened and i keep thinking i'm gonna die
