You can't win in life unless you face your fears. Plz get the Root Canal treatment done asap. Self medication is dangerous and waiting is bad too.. The swelling would become chronic and the outcome of the root canal also would be questionable if you wait for a longer time.. Please take the first appointment with your dentist who is experienced in root canal. God bless you.

Medications never provide a permanent solution for dental problems.... also self medication is a dangerous thing and should be avoided.....
Your symptoms point towards a definite requirement of root canal treatment and you should not delay it further because of many potential complications including the damage to the underlying bone, to the adjacent teeth and at the same time, an irreversible damage to the painful tooth, which might become non restorable and require extraction only in the near future.....

Dear
You have a condition known as periodical access.
You require to undergo root canal treatment at the earliest.
Otherwise the infection will spread and lead to more complications ultimately leading to the need to remove your teeth.
Take care

First of all stop taking any antibiotic with any prescription, it's not expected being a responsible educated person doin' such a fool...., secondly visit ur dentist immediately n get proper medication prescribed, complete up the course, n get ur rct treatment properly n completely done from ur dentist, third 'n most important dun leave ur treatment in between after taking relief from medication, otherwise your tooth will become same or ever worse this time in a lap of few days....
So act immediately, n get the needful done to get rid of ya problem
