Thank you for your query.
As I can understand, this pain may be due to inflammation of the gums over the impacted third molar on the left side or may be due to carious exposed third molar of the same side.
You have to undergo Clinical examination and an OPG X ray to ascertain the cause of the pain, after that the treatment will start accordingly.
