hello!Read your query.
Take a full week course of antibiotics(metronidazole and amoxicillin) and analgesics.
Do not chew anything hard on this side till you see your dentist(or you may break second molar further).
Take a x-ray for the wisdom tooth , removal is absolutely necessary.
Get the second molar restoration after the removal.
Warm salt water gargle thrice daily will help subside infection.
Regards.
