Its suggests that there is an abscess present beneath one of your tooth on that particular side and its getting worse day by day.
It is advisable to go for an root canal therapy with respect to that particular tooth which is decayed and restore it with a crown(it depends upon how much you have lost already because of cavity)
Next Steps
Visit an endodontist, get an xray done and save your tooth by opting root canal treatment followed by a crown.
Health Tips
To avoid such situations please dont neglect any discomfort or sensitivity or cavities or black spots present on your teeth. If any of these are present get them cleaned and filled with a cosmetic filling even though if its not painful before it worsens upto the level where your sister is right now.
