Hello
It would be difficult to extract the wisdom tooth if mouth opening gets restricted so as soon as possible get it done with.
Take some muscle relaxant.
thank you.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain, swelling and limited mouth opening 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 metronidazole along with amoxicillin(if you are not allergic). Mouth opening will increase in 5 days and later, get the tooth removed.
Do saline gargling. i hope my answer will help you, take care.
