The doctor gave me antibotics to keep out infection and i have been taking those as told. Could it really be an infection? The side that hurts was swollen more than the other also

Answers:

Chances are it is, especially if it's only one tooth. When I had mine out, they were better after a week....the bottom took longer to heal than the top. Go to the doc and get it checked - if it is dry socket it takes two seconds to make it feel better, and they'll put you on antibiotics.
