Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain, swollen gums, could be because of the gum infection over the wisdom tooth (pericoronal infection leading to abscess formation).
Consult a oral physician and get a radiograph done to rule the amount of space present for the tooth to erupt if space is there for the tooth to erupt then the gum covering over the wisdom tooth can be removed.
If the space is not available then you have to get the wisdom tooth removed.
you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500mg and metronidazole 400mg tid for 5 days (if you are not allergic).
Do saline gargling. i hope my answer will help you, take care.

Thanks for using Health Care Magic.

Read your query.

Recurrent pericoronitis happen when the wisdom tooth is usually impacted (have no space to come out).The treatment for this is extraction.

I would advice you to visit your oral and maxillofacial surgeon and have a radiograph done to know the exact position of the tooth.If it is impacted go ahead with the extraction.
If the pain is related to this ,once the tooth is removed all symptoms will subside.If persistent sore throat and tonsil pain ,consult your ENT surgeon.

Do salt water or antiseptic mouth wash gargling.

Hope this was useful.
Thanks and regards.
