This condition is called as pericoronitis and it is something that is bound to reappear again and again until the objective treatment of extraction of the offending tooth is done. Medications can only provide temporary symptomatic relief but will not cure this problem.
Please visit a dentist as soon as possible so that the corrective measures can be instituted immediately.
Regards.
