The symptoms you said suggest you need RCT immediately.atleast u can do first step of RCT after which ur pain will subside..
Pain all over jaw and ear shows the infection is spreading and it's not a good sign.

The decayed tooth is the causative factor for pain. It affects the entire quadrant and sore throat may also accompany. Due to decayed tooth bad acteria grows leads to mouth Itchiness. Sore throat is due to tonsillitis which is eventually due to decayed tooth
Next Steps
You are supposed to do RCT, prolongation of the above one may cause removal of the particular tooth

Have the medications which were prescribed by your dentist previously.
Due to caries. The medication can suppress the activity of the microorganisms >> symptoms disappear temporarily, for a period of time, followed by which the symptoms reappear.
Next Steps
undergo RCT without delay or the infection may extend to such level that extraction would be the only option or RCT with poor prognosis.

Yes now the pain is increasing because the infection of your tooth is increasing day by day and since the nerve supply is same so tooth pain is transferable in nature so you are having pain in your ear and jaws as well .
Next Steps
As of now consultant your previous dentist first as they must be having your x ray and the medication can be given by seeing the condition of your teeth .
Go for RCT because delaying the treatment will only increase the infection .
Health Tips
Rinse with warm saline water atleast 3-4 times a day this will help in reducing your pain .
