Hi, Thank you for the query. It could be due to over filling or presence of any high point on the filling done. Another possibility could be formation of secondary caries which is leading to pain.  Get an x-ray done if there is no high points present to rule out the exact cause. Just using any medicine for getting relief from pain would not be sufficient so better visit your dentist to know the exact cause for the pain. You can take analgesics- diclofenac sodium for the pain. Hope this information helps you.
