I know how you feel my friend having had one 2 months back the pain is unbelievable.

I was also given amoxicillin 250mg which didn't touch it then increased to 500mg still agony so was drained by incision on the gum ouch but god what a relief.

I was then given metranizadole alongside the amoxcillin and a root canal to follow and after 3 visits to the dentist treatment was completed.

But one last thing I got was thrush down below due to the powerful effects of metranizadole lol, so damm sore and inflamed lol so no for a while... but in context I know how you feel.

Get well soon Arthur.....
