See Dentist: Take 1 regular Aspirin + 1 regular tylenol (acetaminophen) along with an antibiotic (like amoxicillin) and get to the dentist that can do extractions asap. They may suggest a root canal treatment or an extraction. However this infection that you have needs to be dealt with now or it will spread.

Dental care ASAP.: Like a splinter in your finger, dental pain exists because there is a problem. Would you take pain medication and antibiotics to manage the splinter? Not likely: you would take it out! see your dentist. Solve the problem. Take fewer meds & be well :-).

See your dentist: Please see your dentist. The throbbing may be related to an infection. You do not want to "sit" on this. Please go to see the dentist.

Exam and treat: See your dentist as soon as possible to determine the source of your tooth pain. The dentist will take xrays and do a thorough exam. A tooth ache is most likely due to a cavity. Treatment can be as simple as a small filling or if worse a root canal. Until you can get to the dentist, try otc analgesics such as advil (ibuprofen) for pain control.
