Have you undergone the root canal procedure or u r applying clove oil without the root canal? I assume u havent undergone an RCT, so for a permanent solution please do undergo the root canal procedure you will not need the clove oil after that. The decay process will also stop and you vud be able to save the tooth.

Hey! Clove oil or any painkiller will reduce pain, but not permanently. It will only give you relief for a while. Treating the cause of pain i.e. by RCT is the only permanent solution for pain.
Next Steps
If you have X-ray of teeth, please post a pic of it for better consultation.
Health Tips
You can use clove oil or painkiller such as Ketorol DT for relief till you get RCT done.
