Take antibiotics and a dentist consultation. The Decay seems quite deep in both molars. Depending on clinical observation and tooth mobility you can get a root canal done or go for an extraction. The Decay though seems to be quite deep limiting the prognosis (outcome) of treatment (as the crown margins will fall deep in gums - dental jargon). Try saving the tooth through a root canal.
