When the wisdom tooth erupting then removal is the only best option. Consult your dentist and get a X-ray done to check whether it will go surgical or not .and also take painkillers with antibiotic for 5 days.

Swelling is due to food lodgement and the eruption. Start with warm saline ( warm water and salt) rinses (3-4 times a day) , visit your dentist to get your tooth checked and see if the tooth is erupting in right direction.
