get dosed up on paracetamol, if you can get hold of some codeine or co-proxomol that will kill off any pain until Thursday, be careful, follow directions on packets etc

Could be an abcess, if it is, there's nothing you can really do apart from take painkillers.
I had abcesses under two of my crowns so I know how painful they are, but since having treatment and taking antibiotics, they have been ok.
