Hello Sir
Greetings of the day. Visit the dentist and get a x-ray done. The wisdom tooth is mostly likely impacted and it is better to get it removed as this is the only way to get relief from the pain. Persistent swelling might lead to a cyst formation but cancer is very less likely and might be seen only in cases of sharp tooth margins.
Next Steps
Do not delay the visit to the dentist
