Hello. Clinically entrapment of gums between the two wisdom tooth should be checked, followed by x ray to rule out interproximal caries. As you have mentioned that the tooth is not impacted so upper tooth might be the one creating problems. Tooth creating problem should be removed as wisdom tooth problems comes back, so better to get rid of them.
Next Steps
visit oral and maxillofacial surgeon

Pain in the wisdom tooth can I arise due two reasons, one a cavity and other soft tissue over the tooth gets inflamed or infected.
Next Steps
If tooth is erupting into a normal position with rest of the teeth segment then no intervention is required. But if otherwise removal/ extraction would be a wise option to prevent further complications.
Health Tips
Kindly post your X-ray will be able to give a definitive opinion.
