The process of getting a tooth filled sometimes irritates the tooth pulp (provided the caries was deep and in close proximity to the pulp). This can lead to a hypersensitive tooth pulp for initial few days post filling leading to mild pain and sensitivity . Also the wisdom tooth that you mentioned, might be exerting some kind of a pressure on the tooth in front of it. Kindly visit a dentist so as to evaluate which of the 2 probable reasons is causing you pain.
Next Steps
Visit a dentist and get X-RAY of the offending 2 teeth
Health Tips
Do not delay as you might need to get a root canal treatment done if the pain persists for long to cause irreversible pulpitis

The tooth in which filling was done may require a root canal. The pain comes from the nerve and you may not be able to identify the tooth clearly. X-ray will be required to confirm the tooth causing pain.
Health Tips
Do not use ketoral . Better to start treatment to get relief from pain
