Gums surrounding or covering the wisdom tooth usually get inflamed or ulcerated and cause pain when it is time for the tooth to erupt. Auxiliary factors in gum ulceration can be 1. an impacted(tilted/unable to erupt) wisdom tooth, 2. Upper molar being sharp impinging on the gums below.
Treatment should include removal of above factors if true in your case.
Supportive medicine includes antiseptic or antibiotic gel for local application like Metrogyl DG gel or Rexidin M Forte gel, along with a pain killer tablet after food.
