To evaluate the clinical position of your wisdom tooth visit your nearest dentist and get x-ray done of both sides. In case if the erruption is not following exact clinical position then impaction (removal) is required.

Hi
Impacted third molars cause the symptoms that you have mentioned.Any solution offered will only give you temporary relief.You need to get them removed by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon.In the mean time you can take painkiller. Also try warm salt water rinsing three times daily till you feel some relief.
