Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain can be because of the tooth infection. If the decay is involving the third layer that is pulp, where the nerves and blood vessels are present, if the filling has been done over that, then you will get pain. So consult a endodontist and get the tooth treated with root canal treatment.
Nothing to be panic, Meanwhile you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500mg and metronidazole 400mg tid for 5 days (if you are not allergic) and analgesics like diclofenac 50mg with serratiopeptidase. Do saline gargling. Once the pain comes down you can get the tooth treated.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
