If its hurting even though you're taking pain killers, the nerve has probably died inside the tooth, leading to infection and inflammation in the bone. This can be very painful and may feel like its spreading along your jaw. The only medication that will help is antibiotics as this will reduce the infection and the associated inflammation.
If this is the case though antibiotics will only get you out of pain but you will either need it taken out or to have a root canal filling if you want to keep it.
Other possibilities is a crack, but that would be more sensitive to cold and wouldn't hurt if you wern't biting on it. It could also just be really deep decay but unlikely.

I'm just agreeing 100% with Bouncing Molar so you don't get sidetracked by the other answers.

You may have food stuck in it or a cavity but I'm not a dentist. Check with one if it continues.
