Hello!Thank you for posting here.

This is pericoronitis of the third molar.You did not mention your general oral hygiene status.
As you mentioned this appears often,i suggest you to get the upper and lower right side third molars removed.Third molar has no role in mastication.
Also maintain good oral hygiene routine.
Get scaling done every 6 months.Take moxikindCV 625mg twice daily for 3 days.Take ketorol 10mg DT if the pain is severe.Dilute it in water and drink it(dispersible tablet).
Do a warm saline water gargle thrice daily.You can apply the ointment suggested by your physician.

hope this helps.
