Always try to consult your dentist, or atleast do video consultation and describe all the symptoms and which tooth and then get the medication.
Next Steps
As the pain is not subsided, the tooth definitely might have infection,and it should be followed by antibiotic course.

Consult doctor online for better guidance and treatment options. As without looking at the reason it's difficult to prescribe anything.
Warm saline water rinses two to three times a day, avoid eating any sticky food, rinse oral cavity rigorously with water whenever you eat anything, brush twice a day.
