Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Such a severe pain that is not being relieved with the medicine that you are taking needs to be treated with higher painkillers like Tramadol [ultracet] or Ketorolac.
Also as you have not mentioned the cause of pain that whether it is due to tooth decay or any other cause, therefore the cause has to be first treated as it will help in improvement of the symptoms.
Take soft meals and along with it do cool compresses over the cheek.
You can also consult an Emergency room and get evaluated and an injection of painkiller can help in improvement of pain.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
