Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..

As per your complain it seems that you have a deeply decayed wisdom tooth which has involved the Pulp which is central portion of the tooth and contains nerves and blood vessels and irritation and inflammation of the nerves leads to severe pain which can radiate to Jaw,Ear,and Head..

Painkillers may or may not provide you relief and you need to consult a dentist and get an x Ray done and in case of deep infection you can be advised Root Canal Treatment followed by antibiotics and painkillers if tooth is in a condition to be saved.
But in case if tooth cannot be saved due to excessive decay or you do not want to save the tooth Extraction followed by antibiotics and painkillers will relieve..
You need not to fear the dentist as all the treatment will be carried out under local anaesthesia and will be painless..

As for now you can take Tramadol as it can relieve severe pain but should not take for extended duration as it can cause addiction..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
