You should take them as instructed. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea.

When will you see your dentist, again? It sounds like you have some underlying issue that could be causing the infection, such as a deep cavity.

I have to agree with you about having it pulled, sometimes that is the only option. I have full dentures, now, after years of hereditary dental problems and I am much happier, now, and not dealing with anymore dental infections and pain.
