I was in your position 3 weeks ago. Took 4 days for the antibiotics to have an effect. I was eating painkillers like Smarties but was still in agony. The worse pain was coming inside after being out in the cold. Never known pain like it before.
I had Root Canal work done as a result of the abscess, and it was completed yesterday. The procedure was totally painless (when he broke through the bottom of the tooth, it was discovered I still had some infection. The small, and taste of it when it was breached was vomit inducing. Had more antibiotics, and its all sorted now.
Toothache and earache are two things I can happily do without. I have a pretty high tolerance to pain as a rule, but those two turn me into a blubbering child.
All you can do is bare with it. Try to avoid temperature changes, as going from cold to warm is pretty intense.
Hope you find relief sooner rather than later.

The pain is other-wordly. Im sat here sweating, waiting for the 3g of amoxicillin to kick in. Help...
you know that amoxicillin isn't a pain killer? it'll stop the infection in time, but the pain is something else, so i'd get some painkillers as well.ukwill said:

I went to am emergency dentist with an abscess when I lived in Zurich a while back. He took a look and casually told me to come back the next day. Had a night of intense, throbbing pain and zero sleep as the abscess doubled in size. Went to see him again first thing the next day and he lanced the thing with a scalpel - no anaesthetic of course. The then had the cheek to try to bill me for 1200 Swissies.
Hope you'll be okay chap!
