Don't take medication on your own..better visit a dentist.
Combiflam can be taken for pain ( unless you are not allergic to it) but it will not work well against severe pain.
Novamox ( I am not aware of novamax) is antibiotic ( amoxicillin) can be taken for infection but since there is pus formation.. you have to take other antibiotics also (like Metronidazole - metrogyl 400 mg).
Again since with amoxicillin, most of the people complaints of diarrohoea, so better to take probiotics with it like Becelac.
But you should visit a nearby dentist.

Try Pressclav 625 mg and Zerodol SP. pressclav twice a day for 3 days and zerodol sp twice a day for 3 days. avoid hot fermentation and meet a dentist asap. in case of acidity due to zerodol you may take ranitidine or pantoprazole. if you face any issues of upset stomach due to the antibiotic, switch to ofloxacin-ornidazole combination or plain ofloxacin 200 mg.

I would not give you any advise regarding medication. Best to see a dentist and get yourself treated.

My left wisdom tooth has been growing in side ways, but has not been able to come in fully. It started hurting about two days ago. I did not think anything of it and thought it was just growing in more. There was a flap of skin/gum covering part of the tooth. When I went to brush my teeth this morning, I noticed that part of it (underneath where the skin covered before) was now a blackish color. I got a sore throat and swollen lymph nodes only on the left side of my throat around the same time my tooth started hurting. Are these related? I have a dentist appointment in a week. Is there anything I can do to help it to make it better or ease the pain? It hurts to chew on that side of my mouth and it hurts when I swallow. Will my tooth be okay until I get to the dentist and what will be done by the dentist? Do you think my tooth is infected? Will I have to take antibiotics?
