Treating the pain is only dealing with the symptoms rather than the root (no pun intended) of the problem. Oil of cloves and I found sniffing burning cardboard helped alleviate the pain a bit. But you need to get rig of the abscess using antibiotics or having the tooth out. (Robert Burns called toothache ' the hell of all diseases...')

Will ice help a tooth absess?
yes it will reduce swelling and feel good but you're going to need a root canal
Can I have my tooth extracted if I have an absess below tooth. One dentist says ok another says the infection would have to clear first or could be dangerous to remove. Any advice please?
I had a friend with a similar problem and his dentist told him he had to wait until the infection was gone because it is very dangerous to operate on an absess tooth. It may be painful now but eventually it will be over and if you risk it and do the operation too soon it could result in worse pain than before. My friends dentist told him removing an absess tooth can actually kill you from infection and whatever else.

Can amoxicillin cause back pain I took amoxicillin all week for a tooth infection now have a back ache probably coincidence but?
I am currently taking amoxicillin for a dental absess - I have exactly the same symtoms; lower back ache. I spoke to my pharmacist about it today and they have told me to see my doctor and stop taking it if the pain becomes unbearable.
Can an absess tooth be fatal?
Throbbing inside the gum under the tooth. When you bend over you can feel a pressure. If not looked after by your dentist it can cause pain in your jaw and ear. Unless you go months (which you won't because of the pain) it's not fatal, but could do some bone damage to the jaw. Your dentist will probably put you on a regiment of antibiotics before touching the tooth. Then a root canal may be done or an extraction. Sounds terrible, but I've had 2 done and it isn't painful. See your dentist to have it checked out.
