HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Though you have initiated appropriate therapy, it is possible that you may need to use oral antibiotics and also need to add an anti inflammatory pain killer to help control the pain.
The pain killers would be available over the counter , examples include naproxen, cataflam, ibuprofen.
It would be best to be assessed by your doctor.
I hope this helps
