If you are facing problem since 4-5 years, there are very less chances that the tooth will erupt. So if it is causing trouble get x rays or 3D scans done followed by treatment.

Swelling means likely there is very minimal space for the tooth to erupt on its own.If it has space it would have erupted by now .It is highly recommended to visit your nearby dentist for a check up.
Next Steps
Take an OPG xray to confirm position of wisdom tooth
