Hello,
You are suffering from the spread of infection. Take some anti-inflammatory medication at regular intervals until you can seek care. if possible, try a combination of two Advil and two Tylenol. You can be prescribed an antibiotic to control the infection spreading and decide the best treatment after a clinical diagnosis. Schedule a visit with the oral surgeon. Consider a visit to the emergency room if you have a delay in getting an appointment since you are experiencing such a high degree of pain. You may need to visit an ENT specialist if the tooth is not the source of the pain. A surgical extraction will most likely be recommended if the wisdom tooth is infected. Get the correct diagnosis as soon as possible to make the best decision and stop your infection from getting worse.
Thank you for your inquiry. I hope that my suggestions are helpful and you have some relief soon.

helloo...according to the symptoms explained by you it can be an impacted tooth..but whether it has to be removed or what treatment required can be precisely predicted based on a thorough clinical check up and xray...so in my opinion i suggest u to meet an oral surgeon....u can take antibiotics(amoxicillin+metronidazole) and analgesic(diclofenac)..do warm salt water gargle..concentrate more on side having pain..drink lots and lots of hot water..avoid cold water..meet an oral surgeon and get it treated...hope ur benefitted something by this reply..have a healthy day!!
