Sensitive tooth after filling 4 weeks ago

I had a filling 4 weeks ago, it was to replace an existing filling that somehow was getting food behind it. As a result the decay underneath was bad and the dentist said it had exposed the nerve.

I expected it to be sore for a week or so but 4 weeks on I'm still experiencing a lot of pain when I drink cold drinks and if I'm chewing on that side sometimes I experience pain when biting down.

DH thinks I should go back to the Dentist but I'm unsure if, with it being a deep filling, it's just always going to be like this and I'd be wasting time and money.

Has anybody got any advice?

I had this! I went back and didn't have to pay more as they were correcting their own work (nhs) and actually it was just because my filling was standing a bit proud so was an easy and painless fix.
