Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
As far as the pain in the tooth is concerned, it can be because of the tooth or gum infection. Nothing to be panic, you need to consult an oral physician and get it evaluated. Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and metronidazole combination along with an analgesic like diclofenac (if you are not allergic). These medicines are temporary solution. You need to get the tooth treated for permanent solution.
I hope I have answered your query. If you have any queries reply me back. Take care.
