The pain won't subside just with the medicines and even if it does it would recur. You'll need to visit the dentist to know if there is any infection or swelling around the tooth. If not you can get it extracted.
An oral surgeon would be the right one to go to.

After 2 days of antibiotics course you can go for the extraction. Some times only antibiotics will not work some time. Please consult an oral surgeon
