Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain pain in tooth that is occuring due to infection and for which you were given Augmentin, that is an antibiotic and is used t reduce infection but in case of tooth infection taking antibiotics along will not relive the symptoms completely and you need to get the tooth treated with either root canal treatment or Extraction for permanent resolution..
Secondly antibiotics can reduce infection but for immediate pain relief you also need to take painkillers..
And oflozxacin orndazole combination is not specific to only stomach and can be taken for tooth infection also.
I would suggest you to consult an Oral Physician an get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigation like x ray can help in ruling out the exact condition of the tooth and then it has to be treated accordingly..
As of now you can take antibiotics along with anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen for relief..
Avoid chewing from painful side..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
