The only treatment for this tooth is extraction.wisdom tooth does not have much function so it's better to get it removed.
You left upper and right lower wisdom teeth are also not proper, so might cause problem later.
For pain take - Tab ketorol DT (6) 2tabs at once. Mix in 1 cup of water and consume it.

visit your nearby dentist for antibiotic course or consult us in chat box.

Hello
Best treatment for your condition is the removal of this tooth .Opposite side tooth and lower right tooth is also under bone and might create problem in future ,just keep observing that as well and that also might require removal in future
Nothing to worry about removal as wisdom tooth are not used for chewing and brushing that area is also difficult
Till then if u have pain u can take
Tab diclomol SOS
Next Steps
Visit your dentist and get it removed

hello sir, according to the concerned x-ray i saw the wisdom tooth is impacted and it is causing the pain and swelling because it cannot grow out anymore so i would suggest you to extract or take it out as soon as possible or you can also start the course of medications for 5 days so the pain and swelling can subside for some days.
Next Steps
either start the medication or go for the extraction.
Health Tips
better to keep that area clean, gargle with warm saline/ betadine mouthwash
