I had severe tooth pain in about two premolars (i think) few days ago. So i stopped eating anything hot, cold, sweet. But now my pain rises whenever i wash my mouth with water. It is intolerable. What is happening? What should I do?

Use floss between teeth and clean food debris, which can be invisible sometimes but does cause a lot of discomfort
Brush twice daily after food.
For the time being, do have these medicines prior to visit dentist,
T. augmentin duo 625, 3 times/day.after food 10 tablets.
T.metrogyl 400, 3 times/day.after food 10 tablets.
T.ultracet/zerodol PT, maximum 3 tablets a day, if pain,after food
T. Roles D,once a day, before food,for 4 days
T.A to z gold, once a day, after food,10 tablets.
If difficulty in opening mouth or chewing or swallowing, these are usually associated with tooth infection.
If feverish, that can be as a secondary infection from tooth.
Next Steps
visit dentist and do the needful after x-ray. Do not neglect.
Health Tips
do not do hot compression /balm/ointment application extra-orally.
avoid very hot/cold/hard/sweet/sticky food
soft diet
do not neglect brushing after meal.
hold mouthful of Luke warm salt water in for sometime; you can do it for few times a day, if it's relieving your pain, even partially.

Sensitivity to hot cold and sweet can mean that there is a cavity in some tooth which may even need a root canal. If you can, visit a dentist and get an xray done. If it is not possible for you to visit a dentist, consult a dentist over Practo and send photographs is the area of concern so some medicine for pain relief.
Next Steps
Visit or consult a dentist
