As per your symptoms it looks like the tooth is decayed and it has damaged the nerve. Visit a Dentist, get yourself examined, get an x-ray done. If the nerve is not damaged, it can be treated by filling the tooth. If there is a nerve damage, a root canal followed by a crown would be the line of treatment.
