Get xray of tooth done. If it's deciduous teeth, get pulpectomy done, or if it's permanent teeth, get RCT done by a dentist. Take antibiotics along with analgesics to relieve pain and infection. You can consult through this for prescription of medication and instructions.

Please share the age of child.
Treatment depends on the age.
Most probably either pulp therapy or extraction will be required.
Do visit a local dentist for treatment and physical evaluation.
