According to the 2003 BNF if you get a booster now you should be ok.  Problems occur if you have boosters closer than every 10 years with risks of hypersensitivity.  But I wouldent wait too long or you may need a complete cycle of 3 shots.

Sorry for the backstreet doctor approach but speak to your local nurse for a more complete decision  :y

Last time A&E provided me with painkillers they gave me Kapake -- which is 500mg paracetamol and 30mg codeine -- they certainly did the trick !

Myself -- better that way -- I come to when she's gone -- if I gave them to her she'd be here longer ( albeit unconscious in the corner !!)

If your in pain get down the Hospital...most have an out of hours dentist for just this sort of problem.

And if they say they cant pull a tooth with an absus its cobblers ive had two pulled...mind you Novocaine doesn't seem too work so expect pain.
