What should I do if my filling has become infected and the antibiotics I have been prescribed are not clearing it up?

Q.
i had a tooth filled and got an infection i have been on antibiotics for 6 weeks and am in terrible pain it burns and feels raw from the tooth all the way through to the roof of my mouth if i gently push the gums i have puss that drains out I’m afraid i will develop resistance to the antibiotics please help me
A.
It sounds like the nerve has died in the tooth and the tooth needs a root canal filling. You need to go back to your dentist Antibiotics are only a short term solution.
