In addition to the OTC drug of choice for dental pain, Ibuprofen, pick up some OTC 20% Benzocaine gel in tubes as an adjunct during waking hours. Apply some Ambesol (or generic equivalent), a little dab will do ya, as recommended if these aren't contraindicated for you. Use clove oil in a pinch; but, watch the toxicity.
Sorry for your pain. If I was there I'd help as I can do temporary fillings. I travel with Zinc Oxide & Eugenol in my first aid kit, something you might consider for future travel.
