Hello
Till the time you don't get to your dentist please do warm saline rinses and keep that area clean as its an open cavity so food might get stuck and cause more pain.
You can have any painkiller which you are not allergic to and can repeat the same post 6 hours.
Avoiding eating from that side and avoid eating spicy food
Next Steps
visit your dentist and get it extracted so as to prevent spread of infection!

You can take any pain killer medicine (to which you are not allergic) for the time being. How much relief you will get depends on the infection and your pain threshold. Tooth Removal will give you final relief.
Next Steps
Consult a dentist for further medication and tooth removal.
Health Tips
Too hot or too cold may exacerbate the pain.

Painkillers will temporarily suppress the pain. You need antibiotics along with that and then go for tooth extraction
