Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The swelling and pain could be because of the trauma caused by the wisdom tooth over the cheeks. You can take a course of antibiotics and get the tooth removed. If the wisdom tooth is not a proper position, it has to go for extraction. Nothing to worry its a simple procedure done under local anesthesia.Do saline gargling.
i hope my answer will help you, take care.
