Is this your first episode of pain? Or have you experienced the same before?
Can you see any skin present above your erupting teeth?
Antibiotics and analgesics do help but if there is no space for the teeth to erupt, you might have to get your wisdom tooth removed by a dental surgeon.
Next Steps
If in doubt about the treatment process, you can have a consultation with me.
Have a good day ahead.
