Most probably it's an adjoining tooth to your wisdom tooth which is causing trouble.it is a common finding when due to position of wisdom tooth the adjoining tooth becomes carious. If you have already taken medicines than you need to consult dentist immediately. Tooth might require RCT or extraction. That can be decided on examination only.
