Hi,
Thanks for your query and consulting health care magic.
I have gone through your query, the pain and limited mouth opening could be because of the infection from the wisdom tooth spreading to involve the tissue spaces. If I was be your treating doctor I would have suggested to take a radiograph of that tooth to rule out the infection. then i would have put you on a course of antibiotics and analgesics (diclofenac 50mg if you are not allergic to these drugs). do saline gargling 3-4times daily.
If sufficient space is there for the tooth to erupt you can get the infected flap(pericoronitis) around the tooth can removed or if the space is not there then the wisdom tooth has to be removed under local anesthesia.
I hope my answer will help you.
Wish you speedy recovery.


take care
