Actually if your tooth is infected you should not use warmth only cold. Heat can cause the infection to spread making your problem much worse. Especially do not use warmth if you are experiencing bleeding or swelling. The above answer is correct not to apply cold directly to your tooth. And you can most definitely visit any emergency room for medication. Infected teeth are very serious and could cause very serious problems.
