Hello 15 days is a very long time actually instead you can get it done as in 15 days if food and water seeps in as the temporary filling won’t give a seal An infection might happen

Waiting for given time that is 15 days with temporary filling won't help you at all. With right kind of medication by visiting a dentist can help to extend for few days which depends on tooth condition. Again it's highly unadvisable if dentist ask for immediate treatment.
Next Steps
visit a dentist for the problem and get a proper examination done for the best opinion.
Health Tips
try not to have hard consistency food from the infected side.
