Right now it's my whole left side of the jaw up until the ear that hurts so badly that breathing/swallowing hurts, I've been on extensive medication (6 advils per day + algoflex + antibiotics) and the pain just doesn't seem to show any intention to fade. I have been trying also warm water with salt, but nothing helps.
Is there any professional here who can give advice? Is this pretty normal? I would like to know what can be done, or if I could just go and shoot that dentist.

I'm not a doctor nor a dentist, but my answer comes from personal experience.
You seem to have a severe infection, regular antibiotics can't fight it fast enough. You need to check with your MD very fast to see if you need an antibiotic shot, needle, this usually will relieve your pain much faster.
If it is an infection you need to treat it right away, don't wait. If need be seek emergency treatment.
Good luck, and sorry for your pain I know how bad it could get.
