Detailed Answer:
Hi..
Welcome Again..
As per your image the gum flap over the wisdom tooth is inflamed leading to pain and soreness..
You should take a 5 days course of antibiotics like Amoxicillin, anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen and do warm saline gargles twice a day..
In case if there is recurring episodes of the same problem consult a Dentist and get evaluated along with an IOPAR (X-ray)..
In case if the wisdom tooth is erupting correctly then the dentist can remove the offending gum flap..
If the tooth is obstructed by bone or tilted leading to Impaction, extraction of tooth is advised..
As of now continue take the medicines as advised.
Any further questions are welcome..
Hope this information helps..
