A clinical checkup would give a better picture of your discomfort and aid in suggesting you a suitable treatment plan. However the pain you are complaining off could be due to a cavity mostly or a periodontal problem. Wisdom tooth is often painful and should errupt till you turn 23. If it hurts way too much you can opt for its removal.
Next Steps
visit your dentist soon
