Well an update on the tooth ache is I have been put on antibiotics by the dentist (didn't even know they could prescribe them). The pain after a whole night staying up and bathing the tooth in cold water as it was the only way to stop the gut wrenching pain has now become a tingling discomfort.

I can only wait an see if the antibiotics clears the pain fully or I have to go back into the dentists for the dreaded root canal surgery.
