Wisdom teeth pain
My left lower wisdom teeth has half erupted (slightly) while half isn't. And it started paining today, that part of gum is tender though doesn't pain when touched.
Right lower teeth hasn't emerged although I can feel it slightly below the gum. While the ones at top hasn't shown any indications yet.
The toothache isn't unbearable but certainly uncomfortable.
I am living in a covid bubble so going out isn't a possibility for few weeks.
Should I be concerned and go for an emergency, or wait out few days since the pain started today only.
Is it normal for the teeth to pain for few days and then get to normal.
I've been diagnosed with a death bite in the past and concerned about tooth decay

Dont worry so much for now. Start with salt water gargles as of now 3-4times a day. Go on a relatively soft diet and see if it becomes better.
Once you are out of the covid bubble and ready to step out again, go for a checkup.
Till then the gargles should help. If the pain becomes unbearable or too uncomfortable you can take pain killers as well (dolo 650/Ibuprofen 400mg) on SOS basis.
Next Steps
Step out for a checkup once safe and if the pain is still a concern
Health Tips
warm saline gargles 3-4 times a day
