I cannt add anythig new sadly, but would agree with suggestions to:
1) See a dentist ASAP
2) Take anti-inflammatories such as Ibuprofen in the meantime.

Hope all resolves speedily

I notice you don't advise the temporary fillings J?

[J9PUR]

Not usually. There are many kinds of 'toothache' but the most likely diagnosis for the OP's symptoms is 'irreversible pulpitis' or 'acute apical periodontitis' for which DIY temporary fillings will have little effect. They are also very awkward to use. In my opinion, their best use is simply to fill the cavity to stop it traumatising a tongue or cheek.

Very interesting, thank you .
