Infection has entered into the core of the teeth (which has vessels and nerves)

Hii,we have to take an Xray to see if there is any infection present,if infection is there we have to plan the treatment accordingly,medication gives the temporary relief it’s not the permanent solution,proper evaluation and treatment gives the permanent solution.

The cavity would have been a deep one leading to irreversible pulpitis. Restoration over an exposed pulp leads to such symptoms. The tooth might be treated with RCT.
Next Steps
Come to the doctor for clinical and radiographic examination

Hello
Recent Xray after filling done is needed. Evaluation and further treatment if needed can be plan accordingly. Antibiotics and pain killers give temporary relief, if pain persists visit an Endodontist or experienced dentist nearby if possible.
