Dear practo user,
It is pericoronitis that you are suffering from which happens due to the erruption of wisdom tooth. First you need to go for an x ray of that tooth, accordingly we can come to know whether the tooth is rightly errupting or impacting, accordingly the treatment can be decided i.e. symptomatic treatment/simple extraction/ surgical extraction meanwhile you should start with warm water salt gargles and medication if it pains.
Next Steps
x ray of 3rd molar region in upper right back part of the jaw.

Dear practo user
Wisdom teeth, upper or lower, commonly cause pericoronitis and cause gum swelling. This can subside and recur. There is no guarantee that the wisdom tooth will completely erupt. It might be impacted also.
Next Steps
use warm salt water gargling
apply hexigel on gums
