A.
I would strongly recommend that you go and see an Endodontist – root canal specialist.

If you have been on antibiotics for 6 weeks, this means the infection isn’t clearing up. You have one of two options, either have a re-root treatment on this tooth (dependant on if this is possible) or have the tooth extracted.

Please do go and see an Endodontist as soon as you can to help get you out of pain and give you the options for this tooth.
