Swelling of gum tissue is more common in lower teeth and it usually happens around your wisdom teeth, the third set of molar teeth that most people get in their late teens or early 20s. Bacteria can get trapped under gum tissue growth over a partially erupted wisdom tooth causing infection and inflammation. However, thorough clinical and radiographic examination is necessary for definite diagnosis and treatment.
Next Steps
Visit the dentist for definitive diagnosis and treatment.
Health Tips
Maintain good oral hygiene. Brush twice daily and floss once a day. Do warm salt-water rinses.

Based on your provided history, it seems like your third molar or wisdom tooth is trying to erupt but their is little or no space for it.
Visit some dental clinic. Because x ray is required to see whether its erupting properly or not.
Warm saline water rinses two to three times a day
You can take painkiller of your choice. But remember painkillers give you temporary relief only.
If you see swelling outside your mouth, then you can apply ice pack outside your mouth.

Hi,
From what you explained it seems you have a condition called pericoronitis.
It is common when there is no space for the third molar ( last tooth) to erupt.
The treatment is to get the tooth taken out.
For now you can start
- Lukewarm salt water rinse thrice daily.
- Medicated mouthwash rinse twice daily.
- Brushing twice daily will also help.
To get proper medication for pain and infection you can consult me online.

Wisdom tooth or third molar is a vestigial organ. As humans are evolving the jaw is getting shorter reducing the space where third molars would get completely erupted. Its better to get it removed if its not erupted completely for you
