Hello
Welcome to HCM
During the eruption of wisdom tooth all these things happen. You should gt your opg xray done and visit dentist. If eruption path and space is available then it will pericoronitis which will be treated by tropical application but if space and path is not available then you have to go for extraction. Meanwhile for relieve you should do warm saline gargles 3-4 times a day with painkiller.
Thank you
