hello, you need to visit a dentist and get it checked. get an x-ray done. swelling could be due to eruption of wisdom tooth. you can do warm salt water rinses , but this will give you only temporary relief from pain. the best treatment for wisdom tooth is to get it removed. if there is infection to the root of the tooth, you need to get it treated.
