Thanks for using Health Care Magic.
Read your query.
It will take a little time for the tooth to come out.
For the pain you can take ibuprofen 400mg for 3 -5 days. Antibiotic Amoxillin 500 mg three times days for 3 days (if you are not allergic to any medicines).
Do saline water gargling or chlorhexidine mouth wash.
U can visit your dentist and get it evaluated.
Hope this was useful.
Thanks and regards.
