Sometimes pus around the tooth cause serious pain.Need to take an x-ray to confirm for the the problem. Can be easily solved by doing Root canal treatment after confirmation with the xray.

Consult an endodontics or root canal specialist for the issue.

Only way it can be treated/saved, is. by Root Canal Treatment followed by Crown (Cap) on it.
But, first the proper diagnosis will be required. X-Ray of your tooth is very important for proper diagnosis.
Since it is a case of tooth fracture by trauma, sometimes there are chances of root resorption. In that case additional treatments (Apicectomy) will be advised by dentist.
And in the worst case (horizontal fracture in root etc), dentist might suggest you to get your tooth removed and replace it with Implant or Bridge.
Next Steps
Visit a good dentist and soon. Further delay might cause more damage to your tooth.
Health Tips
Dentist will/might charge you more than regular treatment charges, but it is necessary to spend/invest a few bucks more.
