Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain in the tooth can be because of the tooth infection secondary to the decayed tooth. The pain during night time is a charecteristic feature of pulpitis. The decay might not be visible clinically, it can be present in between two teeth. So consult a oral physician and take a radiograph to rule out the decay and tooth infection.
If it is tooth infection You can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500mg and metronidazole 400mg tid for 5 days(if you are not allergic). After taking antibiotics you can get the tooth treated with RCT(if bone support is fine) for tooth infection.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
