Suggest Treatment For Painful Swollen Wisdom Tooth
Since this morning, I ve been feeling really drowsy and tired. I have a minor headache, feel a bit nauseous, and had diarrhea this morning. I have little to no appetite as well. I feel like it may be an ear infection. Although I m not sure if there s any relation, I feel like my wisdom teeth have come in much more in the last couple days and my gums, next to my bottom left wisdom tooth, are very swollen and painful.

Wisdom tooth always creates lot of problems as u saying that it apears to be swollen you might have to remove you wisdom tooth or there might be lot of food lodgement around that area to suggest i need to see but if food lodgment is the case gud thorough cleaning and curettage may be needed the codition is called pericoronitis. visit your dentist as soon as possible
