Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain, and swelling could be because of the gum infection over the wisdom tooth (pericoronal infection leading to space infection).
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 and metronidazole (if you are not allergic).
Do saline gargling. i hope my answer will help you, take care.
I find this answer helpful
