Dear Practo User,
For symptomatic relief you can take pain killers, do warm saline rinses but a final treatment plan can only be given after clinical and radiographic examination.
Kindly visit a dentist nearby. Your tooth if not erupting in proper position, might need removal.

Visit an oral surgron and get a x-ray done. If the tooth is impacted it is better to get it extracted. Warm saline gargles 2-3 times a day might give you some relief.
