If cavity is hurting it means the infection has spread to the tooth pulp and needs Root Canal Treatment (RCT). RCTs can be done in single sittings also, so you can get it done while on travel also.
Next Steps
Look for an "Endodontist" (RCT expert) on Practo in whichever area you are at.

As you already have pain...it is suggestive of an infection and deep cavity.
Yes, medicines can give you a temporary relief but the actual treatment is going to be a root canal and not a filling

you can take dolo650 after food only if the pain is intolerable. Don't take medicine for long time and unnecessarily
