Headache after wisdom tooth extraction?

Background. Had 1 upper wisdom tooth extractd 7 days ago. Dentist found cyst. A few days later prescribed amoxicillan. I have been taking for 1 full day. Last night I felt head pressure which got worse and woke me up at 3am. How do I know if infection has spread to the brain? Is head pressure a week after wisdom tooth extraction normal?

Headache after wisdom tooth extraction?
when working on your upper wisdom teeth, you run the risk of messing with your sinuses. your dentist should have checked when he pulled your tooth.
Reply:by clenching you jaws together,you feel where the jaws join together.THEN,MASSAGE THIS POINT using your index finger clockwise for three and a half minutes twice daily for four days.,if the pain is over,then no infection is spreading otherwise if the pain will still be on,after two days of this exercise, immediately prepare a final-will,otherwise give me a shout !!
Reply:Ye! It sounds normal!
