Augmentin is an antibiotic which will only reduce infection and not pain and inflammation.Your third molar is infected for sure.u should visit dentist soon.take ketorol dt two times a day to relieve pain.Plz maintain oral hygiene.rinse the area with warm water with saline.

This doesn’t look. Like a dental pain from the photograph. There could be many other reasons for pain around the jaw not related to teeth. You need to see a dentist for proper diagnosis before you take antibiotics
