Did he just filled the tooth without doing RCT ?
If possible repeat the Intraoral x Ray and post it here on practo app.Looks like u have a tooth cavity which has gone upto the living part of the tooth called nerve if this is so then u may have to take RCT.
Meanwhile continue the medicine and do the warm salt water gargles.
Next Steps
Visit your dentist ASAP.
