See a dentist: Depending on where you live and your circumstances, find a private dentist, a clinic with dental services, or a dental school asap. If you can see a hole and there is pain, there is no alternative. Pain meds may help you manage short term, but you have a problem that requires diagnosis and treatment.

Wrong instrument: Instead of computer you should be using a telephone. Call a Dentist and make emergency appointment for treatment of your damage and infection. OTC analgesics, used exactly as printed on package directions, coupled with cold compresses, may take the edge off until you can get to the Dentist. There's no other choice...call now.

NSAIDs-Tylenol OTC: and see a dentist ASAP. Tooth infection can further spread to other parts of the body like jaw bones, palate and throat. It also can result in systemic infection. Therefore, dental treatment is a must.

See a dentist: Not much else you can do. Take NSAIDs until you can be seen.
