Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain can be because of the impacted tooth. If i am your treating doctor i would have suggested you to take, a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500mg and metronidazole 400mg tid for 5 days (if you are not allergic). and pain killers like ibuprofen paracetamol combination. But the medicines provide temporary relief.
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.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
