Hello,
Based on the OPG X-ray, it appears that the wisdom tooth is impacted. In such cases, medicines can only give temporary relief by reducing pain or infection, but they do not solve the root cause.
If the wisdom tooth is impacted and causing repeated pain, swelling, or infection, extraction is the definitive treatment. Delaying removal may lead to recurrent episodes, damage to the adjacent tooth, or gum infection.
If symptoms are mild, short-term medication may help temporarily, but permanent relief is achieved only after extraction. I would recommend consulting your dental surgeon for a clinical examination and planning the procedure at the right time.
Hope this helps.
