Brief Answer:
Looks like tooth infection.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
From your explanation it looks more like a tooth infection and less probably like a gum infection.
But for a confirmation you should get an x ray of the tooth done.
If there is tooth infection and nerve is exposed then you have to get root canal treatment of the tooth done.
If there is gum infection localized cleaning of gum has to be done.
Taking painkiller is a temporary relief so for permanent relief you should get appropriately treated by a Dentist.
Thanks.
