Is Amoxicillin The Right Medicine For Tooth Abscess In A Child?

My 6 year old granddaughter had a tooth abscess, took amoxicillin for a week and had the lower molar extracted 2 1/2 days ago. Fevers UpTo 103.8 after 24 hours, the dentist up the amoxicillin from 2 to 3 doses a day. 60 hours since and she has nausea, lethargy, fevers up to 103. No bleeding or swelling. Should she see a doctor or dentist or hospital?
