Your symptoms are common when tooth erupts..

Warm saline rinse 4 Times a day will help

What you are feeling is quite natural when the wisdom teeth tries to erupt in the mouth. Also depends on your age if in case it is very less likely to come out completely owing to its position and anatomy.
You can visit the dentist to get it checked for further assistance of either keeping it under observation with some general measures or taking it out.
Next Steps
You can take an SOS pain killer and do some salt water gargles for the time being
Health Tips
Avoid biting hard food stuff and extremely hot temperature food.

You should visit the dentist as the wisdom teeth do not erupt in proper alignment always and due to improper position ,food lodgement, and infection can occur. Meanwhile u can take painkiller and start warm saline rinses.
Next Steps
kindly visit the dentist for proper diagnosis and further treatment
