i took 2 a few hours ago and just did 3 now.

im gonna get some orajel

If you have access to any, clove oil can help. It and orajel got me through about two weeks of constant pain.

i used orajel. it's helping a lot but i cant stop spitting

Back in the day I used to rub cocaine on the gums above it, this was in the 90s btw.

Been there. Multiple times.
Is it to the point where it feels like a red hot pin stabbing into your jaw/skull? Where the pain swells up just taking a breath where the air rushing in crosses over the bad tooth?

You're not going to want to hear it (god knows I didn't) but the only solution is going to be going to a dentist and first off getting a pain killer prescription. Tylenol with codeine. Mine told me I could take 4x the recommended amount of basic tylenol on top of the prescription ones for a few days to take the pain off quicker. It did work.

But at the end of the day it will need to get a root canal.

Try the 4x tylenol in the meantime. Maybe play it safe and do 3x first. Or stick to the Orajel.
You can try putting a piece of ice on it or biting down on a whole clove. That's what my old aunts recommended as home remedies. They didn't work for me and only hurt more doing it. But that was me.
