Ask your dentist: There's likely to be nothing a non-dentist can do for this. After evaluating x-rays decisions can be made to optimize your oral health. Good luck!

See oral surgeon: There's a good chance they will recommend extracting the maxillary tooth, if not both the maxillary and mandibular.
