dear tanny,
the swelling is due to partially erupted wisdom tooth. do warm water with salt gargle thirce daily/hexidine mouth wash. as soon ur wisdom tooth erupts problem will be vanished. but u have to wait for long .if problem persists go for operculectomy a minor surgical removal of flap by dentist. u can use esgipyrin sp tab for pain.
have a nice day

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain, swollen gums, could be because of the gum infection over the wisdom tooth (pericoronal infection leading to abscess formation).
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.
you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500mg and metronidazole 400mg tid for 5 days (if you are not allergic).
Do saline gargling. i hope my answer will help you, take care.
