Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
The pain in the gums over the wisdom tooth is because of the infection of the gums around the wisdom tooth called pericoronitis. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral maxillofacial surgeon and get the wisdom tooth removed. Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxycillin and metronidazole(if you are not allergic). Do saline gargling. I hope i have answered your query. Take care
