You'll probably start feeling better once those Anti-biotics start to work and they reduce the infection. Whisky does also work as Amanda said, if you have a hole and an exposed nerve, however you should not "drink" with Anti-B's because it stops them working.
I've been to the dentist also he prodded my absece with a sharp object to drain some of it (luckily mine is in the gum and not in the root) , gave me some mouth wash and anti-biotics, told me to go back next week, I'll probably end up just having the flipin tooth out, it has been more trouble than it's worth, I was in so much pain yesterday that I was tempted to try a DIY extraction with the help of my leatherman, a wooden spoon and a hammer

Thanks everyone, have been to the dentist and the pesky tooth is now out!! He wanted to wait until i had taken all of the antibiotics but my persistance paid off.
He took an x-ray and confirmed it was an abcess, and agreed that the tooth should come out sooner rather than later. He said that I shouldnt have any more bother,but to go back if i should.
The anaesthetic is starting to wear off now, but the pain isnt half as bad as it was!
