After a course of antibiotics to reduce infection,please have the tooth removed.If your mother has other medical conditions that preclude removal,consult with your dentist of the possibility of a root canal treatment(though success rates of root canals in wisdom teeth is not very high).
Next Steps
Start a course of antibiotics under your dentist's supervision,and schedule for treatment.
Health Tips

Antibiotics like amoxycillin will help temporarily. Utlimately, you'll have to get the third molar removed.

The third molar is usually removed if infected. Painkillers will only work for a few hours. The more delay in treatment the more the problems. Get an X-ray done and get the infected tooth removed

If you really care for your mother you should educate her not to fear dental treatment.
Majority of India's fear a dentist and just bear the pain... Example your mother since 3 days or more and now landed in fever due to high grade infection.
Educate her that now a days procedures are pretty painless and bring her to a dentist.
On examination of the cavity we will have to decide what can be done
Next Steps
educate people that dentist are not here to remove your teeth but have many more options..
