The infected tooth should be treated by Root canal or whatever treatment is required if it’s a periodontal problem. Antibiotics will only suppress infection for sometime. Treatment is important

By using antibiotics, normally it takes 3-5 days for the infection to subside. In case of severe infection it even takes 7 days. The pain gets relieved only after the infection subsides, so you have to wait for minimum 5 days for the pain to subside. And this pain mechanism varies from patient to patient.
