Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain and bump over the tooth can be a pericoronal abscess, that is collection of the pus below the gums over a wisdom tooth.
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.
Mean while 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.

Thank you for your query,

If I can make out from the signs and symptoms you have written above, than may be you are suffering from pericoronitis. In this case the gum tissue above the wisdom tooth gets infected and swells up. It is painful and red.
I would advise you to rinse your mouth with lukewarm salt water 2-3 times a day, take analgesic and metronidazole.
Hope this will work out fine.
