Hello Mam, pain and swelling associated with tooth indicates that it's infected.
If the tooth can be saved it would go for ROOT CANAL treatment followed by cap.
If the tooth cannot be saved it would have to be removed.
I would advise you to visit your Dentist for the better understanding of your condition and get it fixed

X-ray might be recommended for the same
