Firstly start brushing at night to reduce your pain.. keep the area as clean as you can. The wisdom tooth will have to be removed if it has started giving so much pain. Visit your dentist

The tooth may be decayed and involving the pulp... and the tooth is infected giving you pain in the night.
Usually wisdom teeth are extracted.
