Wisdome tooth errupt between 17 to 22 years of age. If its not fully errupted now that means it has insuficient space to errupt. So best treatment in that case is extraction as if you take medicine symptoms will subside for limited time and will recur after 3to 4 months.

Hello maam
Its a very common problem of wisdom tooth not completely coming out and creating problems. The ulcer like thing may be because of infection or irritation because of sharp edges of your tooth. It is always better to visit your dentist nearby for complete checkup with x rays for further treatment plannning.
Use Dentogel or Rexidine M gel for temporary relief.
