Hi.. the condition is known as pericoronitis.. needs to be operated.. that is wisdom tooth removal has to be done.. not a painful procedure. Start with analgesics and antibiotics first. Kindly visit the nearby dentist..

Hi
It seems to be infection at the site of erupting wisdom tooth (PERICORONITIS). Visit a oral surgeon and get antibiotics and painkillers prescribed.
Next Steps
Get an extra oral x-ray (OPG) done to see the angulation of the tooth and extent of decay if present.
Health Tips
OPG will help to guide any other impacted tooth/teeth if present.

hello,
you can do warm salt water rinses as a home remedy, but this will give only temporary relief from pain. You need to visit a dentist and get it checked. Get an x-ray done. The best treatment for wisdom tooth is to get it removed.
