You must visit a dentist or the complications could be much more than you could afford. It may lead to some bone pathology and may get worse than that too, keeping aside the fact that the pain would be tremendous!
Next Steps
For the time being you could start on a regime of AmoxiClav and Hifenac P to control the infection and pain.
