Hello, we are here to help you out...
I have gone through your problem,it seems that your wisdom tooth is decayed and as you say much destruction of enamel and dentin has occured since you are suffering from so much pain. If medicine are not working then I would advice for such patient for extraction of the wisdom tooth as it is difficult to do root canal treatment in the wisdom tooth.
So bettet you get that tooth extracted as soon as posible.

Hope you got the answer.
Take care.
Thank you.
