Hello ,
Your question does not specify the tooth and the area ,where it is horizontally placed.
Next Steps
1) xray is the basic requirement , for the proper treatment plan.
2) if the crown part of the tooth seems to be partially /little visible , then kindly keep that area thoroughly clean , so that there is no food lodgement ,as it may cause pain .
3) do warm saline rinsing 5-7 times in a day
Health Tips
1) it is always better to get the horizontally placed tooth removed as it will cause problems
2) mild pain killer and an antibiotic may reduce the pain . but it will be temporary and the pain will come back

If the problem is due to the impacted 3rd molar (wisdom tooth) extraction is usually the only permanent solution if its painful or causing any dental problems.
Painkiller relieves can pain, but they only provide temporary relief. So, Do consult the dentist and plan the treatment based on findings.
Next Steps
Radiographic (X-ray) evaluation needs to be done

If your wisdom teeth is Horizontally impacted and painful then extraction is only the permanent solution.
Painkillers can provide only temporary pain relief but can't provide permanent relief and they can have adverse effects also if taken without proper medical advice .
Next Steps
consult a dental surgeon preferably an oral surgeon , get an x-ray done and get rid of that impacted teeth.
Health Tips
Extraction is not painful and has minimal adverse effects under a skillful hand . So don't develop fear against extraction

I presume you are referring to an impacted third molar ( wisdom tooth ). Lack of space to erupt in the jaw often leads to horizontal teeth ( impaction ). These impacted teeth are better off extracted as it serves no purpose in chewing. Also, partially erupted teeth pose a risk to adjacent teeth due to food lodgement and caries chances.
The fact that your tooth is hurting indicates either the tooth is infected or is impinging on a nerve. It warrants on taking an xray of the tooth.
Next Steps
Consult your dentist. Get a radiograph ( x-ray ) of the tooth. Extract if necessary as per the xray findings.
Health Tips
Fo mot self medicate with pain killers or antibiotics without consulting your dentist. Pain killers only suppress pain without tackling the infection.
