Seems that your tooth is infected. If painful, you can take a pain killer (which you are not allergic ). If pus drainage continues, course of antibiotics may be helpful (drug which you are not allergic) . These are only temporary measures till you consult a dental surgeon
Next Steps
Should consult a dental surgeon and take a radiograph to decide future course of treatment.
Health Tips
Avoid chewing on that side
