Related to tooth: The throat pain more likely related to the tooth than the hot water bottle. See dentist or oral surgeon for exam/treatment.

Toothache, see DDS: Toothache is merely a symptom of being sick. It can cause sore throat, swelling of the gums, neck glands and muscle pains. Abscess can further spread to other parts of the body like jaw bones and heart. It can result in systemic infection. See a dentist ASAP.

Toothache: Almost invariably means an infected (abscesses). Applying heat to the area opens the capillaries, facilitating spread of the infection. You need help, and you need it now. See a Dentist immediately before the infection spreads even more.
