The problem that you are suffering from is termed as pericoronitis and the only permanent solution is removal of the offending tooth as soon as possible. Restricted mouth opening is an indication that the infection has spread beyond the confines of the tooth and his involving the muscles also now. OPG x ray will be required to assess the condition of the tooth so that the extraction can be plan accordingly. Relying on medications and home remedies will only provide temporary symptomatic relief and should not be the preferred treatment modality.
