You have to drink literally gallons of water to do any harm and you were spitting it out so you can't possibly have drunk too much.

i would have thought cold water would make it worse to be honest.

I know it's hard but you should really see dentist or it might get worse

Water can't "poison" you.

If you drink too much (and it has to be an awful lot in a very short space of time) it can be very dangerous because your body can't get rid of it but I don't think that should concern you. In any case, you would be better using warm water with salt in it, or diluted TCP.

You definitely need to go and see a dentist though.
