Firstly 2.5yr old kid doesn't have premolars...according to the age of the child it might be the erupting deciduous second molar which is causing pain to your child.its nothing to worry about as it is a natural phenomenon.for pain relief and easy eruption of the tooth you can go to the dentist as he can prescribe some gel for topical application.
Next Steps
You should see the dentist and you can give soft diet to child till u see your dentist.
