Hello, im Dr Enosh and am an oral and maxillofacial surgeon.
So what you are complaining of is a typical third molar pain. Yes it too can result in pain during swallowing. X ray cant show infection that well as clinical picture or your mouth can show.
If there is whitish gum surrounding that region with food lodgement and painful chewing, it is suggestive of pericoronitis which is a third molar and its nearby gum infection.
Next Steps
consult and oral surgeon
if in vadodara, you can come to us
if online, you can consult us with the photos n x ray

Hello
Your symptoms indicate that there is infection in your wisdom tooth area known as pericoronitis. Medication can give transient relief in such cases. Success you are having trouble inspite of taking medicine, it indicates that mostly the tooth will have to be removed.
For the time being, just take the medicine and do warm saline rinses
