Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as you have broken tooth may be may be there exposure of pulp , thats why you are feeling pain ,
You can take medications for temporary relief One Tablet Diclofenac sodium three times a day,
Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day
Consult dentist for treatment and investigations IOPAxRay if there is pulp involvement then go for Root canal treatment.
Hope this will help you.
Wish you good health
