Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Well, it looks like side effect of medication.
Drug interaction is very rarely seen among tow, however if you have any exaggeration of your symptoms then you need to immediately stop taking antibiotic and consult your Dentist.
Also to avoid infection you can do antiseptic mouthwash gargles.
Also do warm saline gargles.
Do not let food particles accumulate in the area.
You should get the antibiotic changed by your Dentist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
