Suggest Treatment For Swelling In The Gums And Tenderness

Looks like Pericoronitis only..
Detailed Answer:
Hi..
Thanks for your query and I will try my level best to resolve it..
According to your explanation if you have impacted wisdom tooth and the gum flap over it is swollen then it is probably due to food debris accumulation between gum flap and impacted wisdom tooth..
Due to food accumulation there is Infection leading to the symptoms of swollen gum flap and swelling on face and tender lymph nodes..
Pain in ear is radiating pain from wisdom tooth site..
As you are already taking Ibuprofen, you can continue with the same but it will provide only pain relief.
So you need a course of antibiotics along with painkillers to reduce Infection..
As antibiotics are prescription medications therefore you should consult a Dentist and get evaluated .
He will advise you antibiotics along with painkillers and also clean the area with hydrogen peroxide and antiseptic solution..
Along with it you should do warm saline gargles..
Gargle with antiseptic mouthwash..
Do cool compresses over the swollen cheek and glands..
Keep the area between gum flap and wisdom tooth clean and do not let food particles accumulate..
Please revert back for further queries..
Hope this information helps..
Regards.
