Yes. It may be your wisdom tooth erupting. Warm saline gargle will help relieving your discomfort. Please get an IOPA Xray done to analyse the positioning of tooth. If in erupting position then wait & watch.

Wisdom tooth erupts from the age of 17 onwards. So you may be having teething pain.
Visit your dentist he will assess and tell you the right treatment. If there is space for eruption then allow it to erupt other wise go for extraction
Next Steps
visit your dentist
Health Tips
xray will give good idea of space availability and position of the tooth
