You can take paracetamol tabs , eg. Dolo 650mg thrice a day after meal. If this doesn’t relieve it , can go to stronger meds. Ask again.

Your toothache is most probably due to a deep cavity.
You can take a pain killer that you have used in the past ( since we do not want you to get any allergic reaction) Combiflam / Diclomol/ Dolo 650 may be used 2-3 times a day as you need.
Next Steps
I would advice you to keep the area very clean by brushing, warm saline rinses.
Health Tips
Avoid chewing on that side till you can see a dentist
