Thanks for using Health Care Magic.

Read your query.

Pain in the last molar will be due to acute pericoronitis usually caused due to the impaction and infection in the gums around the erupting tooth.

I would advice you to visit your oral surgeon and have it evaluated .A radiograph will provide a picture of the position of the erupting tooth.If impaction ,get it extracted .If not wait for the complete eruption of the tooth.

For pain ibuprofen will provide relief ( if you are not allergic to any medicine).Amoxicillin 500mg and Metrolag 400 will help in infection reduction on prescription .
Do salt water gargling.

Hope this was helpful.
Thanks and regards.
