hello, you can do warm salt water rinses as a home remedy, but this will give only temporary relief from pain. you need to visit a dentist and get it checked. get an x-ray done. if there is a cavity, you can get it filled. the best treatment for wisdom tooth is to get it removed. consult an oral surgeon,

Better to remove the tooth because if you complaining of pain then the cavity is deep and it's difficult to restore upper third molar

Since you have developed pain, it means to say that cavity is deep.  As you have mentioned that its a third molar. It needs to be removed.
Next Steps
Visit the Doctor as soon as possible because just taking pain killers won't help.

Please get an X-ray made for the involved tooth to check for the depth of decay..Mostly pain is caused when the decay is involving the pulp of the tooth..RCT or Extraction are the two options..Can be decided only after an X-ray is made
Next Steps
Visit a nearby dentist for Xray and further line of action

Hi,Please get the third molar or wisdom teeth removed after x ray is taken & tooth removal should be done after the pain subsides by taking antibiotics & painkillers.
