Should I wait for the ABX to work or OOH?

Friday night started feeling terrible. Headache, fever on and off, chills, nausea, dizziness, and feeling like I was going to pass out. I was pretty sure it was an infection caused by debris getting into a pocket under my gum (dodgy wisdom tooth growth). Dentist confirmed this today and prescribed AMoxicillin.
I'm due to leave the country for a week on weds and I honestly can't remember ever feeling this poorly. Should I just ride it out and give the ABX a chance to work?

Antibiotics should have worked by now - go to out of hours tonight

Really? Even though I've only taken 2 tabs so far?

Ah so you started the ABs today, not Friday. Can you make a gp app for tomorrow or wed (depending what time you leave) and hope that you are well enough to cancel it?

Sorry, I wasn't very clear there! Think I'll make an appointment for tomorrow - we leave very early weds morning. Thank you

Oh yes - thought you'd started them on Friday. Go to GP tomorrow if not starting to feel better.
