Hi
Thanks for writing in.
In my opinion you need to get your third molar extracted as early as possible since it is vestigeal & being infected has no such role.
Meanwhile you may start with a course of amox-calv 625 twice a day along with diclo-para combination thrice a day for three days.
Continue with warm saline gargles 3-4 times a day.
Visit your dentist as early as possible.
