Q: tooth abscess infection

Hello,
here's my concern.. A few months back i developed some pain in my gums, After a weak or so it was gone. ALthough, i did have a bubble that formed along the gum line..
FOr the past few months i have had cold upon cold. I have been congested, sore throat. I thought it was just a winter flu bug that was just lingering. A week ago I got a earache in my left ear , along with headaches between my temples as well as in my left eyebrow and eye lid area, this extreme pressure on my left eyelid/brow area. (this is when i became completely concerned and called to make an appointment with my dentist..
They were able to schedule me in a few days later. The night before my appointment i couldn't sleep.. i was up all night vomiting - i felt hungover or food poisoning.. it was terrible!
it the morning i had diarrhea as well. That day the dentist told me i had a absess and the extracted the tooth.

My question is: I still feel pain in my head area, is the infection running through my bllod stream even thought the initial problem was removed ?

I am very concerned. I have heard horror stories about people having facial bone disfigurement, hollow jaw bones and even death..

please if you have any answers i would greatly appreciate the information!
thanks
