Hello ! Your pain even after having painkillers didnt subside? If yes immediately consult your dentist and get an x ray it needs a root canal treatment followed by crown ( cap ) or else if the infection is too high and severe then it will go for extraction ( removal ) mostly consult your dentist if is the normal molar ! Or else if it your third molar teeth , then no other way, get it removed .. unless n untill you remove it the pain wont subside!

Consult the dentist and take xray of the corresponding region. That would help in a better diagnosis. Maybe because of tooth decay or impacted teeth often.
