Hello yes actually you have to remove .because no alternative treatment. Pain won't go permanently with painkiller .it has to be treated by extracting the wisdom tooth.

We shd treat the cause of the pain,not just the pain.whn u take painkillers the pain is suppressed but once the effect wears off,the pain wil start again..so it’s better to get it removed rather than taking medicines for long time
Next Steps
Kindly meet ur doctor
