Looks like the problem is with your wisdom tooth. Visit a dentist . If it is because of the wisdom tooth . Get the extraction done.

It has to be checked which tooth it is. Generally it’s the upper wisdom molar or the 2nd molar which may be hurting. If it’s the wisdom molar, and is present in an abnormal position, it is advised to remove it. If it’s some other tooth and has a sharp cusp, the cusp has to smoothened out.

It is probably your wisdom tooth. The position has to be checked and an X-ray may be required to advise you properly. The dentist can file it for temporary relief but you may need to remove it if its position is abnormal.
