Hello sir..
The pain is due to decay of the infected tooth which reaches the pulp layer(nerve layer)
First and foremost thing is to take an x-ray (IOPA)
If pain is persisting continuously an Root canal treatment procedure should be done
There is no point of refilling the cavity which will not give a permanent relief..
Next Steps
kindly visit your nearby dentist for immediate treatment and futhur management

Visit your dentist for a check up and x ray for the tooth. That will provide an idea regarding any decay below the filling or if there is fracture of the filling.

It may require a root canal treatment. Get an X-ray done to check the tooth and your dentist will advise you accordingly if you should do a filling or root canal treatment
