Pain can be either due to pulpal involvement of the tooth restored with GIC or the involvement of adjacent tooth. An XRAY is needed for the correct diagnosis.
Next Steps
Please attach XRAY of the concerned tooth and the adjacent teeth. Root Canal Treatment would be needed as you are having throbbing pain.
Health Tips
Maintain oral hygiene and you can visit a nearby dentist for clinical examination and get painkillers prescribed.

Kindly share x ray if possible. Pain can be due to pulpal involvement in the filled tooth or due to decay in the adjacent tooth.
In both cases treatment is needed to cure the pain.
Next Steps
Kindly visit a dental clinic for proper evaluation.
