Hello
Please visit your dentist.
If abscess, antibiotics without drainage won't help.
If the prosthesis/capping is causing this,it is to be removed.
And if it is due to hot food,topical agents will help ease the symptoms.
Intraoral xray will also help confirm the diagnosis.
Next Steps
Visit the dentist.
Self medications won't help you in this case.

This appears to be something related to the infection of the tooth. It is typically called as a palatal abscess and needs to be drained. Apart from that the adjacent teeth need to be examined for caries, especially long standing ones.
Next Steps
Taking the medication Tab Augmentin and tab Metrogyl will be temportarily helpful to reduce the inflamation but a long term relief will be acheived only after the treatment- RCT or Extraction of the tooth
