What can i do to make it better?
Pain an be due to infection, i would suggest you to consult the concerned Dentist and get the clinical evaluation of the site and x-ray done. The region can be curetted and irrigated with lukewarm saline. If there is presence of any broken tooth particle it can be removed. At home take antiseptic and lukewarm saline rinses. Maintain a good oral hygiene.
Hope this helps out,
Regards...
