Xray has to be done to see it's position that whether it can be erupt or not. At this age chances are there for its proper eruption.

Hi considering your age .. your wisdom tooth looks like it’s trying to erupt.. if there is good space for it to come out then eruption pain is ok and will subside with medication .. post an X-ray we can analyse if the tooth can come out into its position or not based on that we decide weather to remove or keep it in the mouth
Next Steps
Consult for medication and guidance

That’s pericoronitis around your erupting molar. Plz visit a dentist, get an x ray of the erupting tooth and seek advice for its extraction.
Next Steps
Don’t wait for the symptoms to worsen again
