Can you see an infection on this X-ray?

[JustAnotherDay3377]

Had a couple of deep fillings 2 weeks ago and l've been in excruciating pain, I had to go to an emergency dentist who did this x-ray and said it was infected, got given antibiotics and has not helped at all.

Could I have an irritated nerve ? The pain comes on suddenly I take paracetamol or ibuprofen the pain lasts about an hour and then it's like l've never even had toothache at all and I can be fine for 6 - 8 hours then it comes back.


The pain is excruciating when it comes on and radiates to my jaw, eye and head and drinking anything cold makes it worse hot is fine.

It does look like the back most upper tooth on the x-ray has a large cavity, without any filling. Could be the cause of the pain.
