Ma'am if the wisdom tooth is causing trouble to you then you should get it extracted because there is no space for it to erupt properly.

Hi, Over time wisdom tooth has become a vestigial organ I.e we no longer use it and many at times it doesn't even erupt properly. It remains in the bone or erupt at various angles. Thus, it is advised to get it extracted.
Please visit a dentist and also get an OPG x-Ray done.
In meanwhile you can do warm saline gargles.
Next Steps
