Hello!
Welcome to Health care magic. I read your query. Your symptoms corelate to Pericoronitis. I would recommend you to visit a Dentist and get an Xray done of your affected wisdom tooth. May b it has not errupt fully and require treatment. For temporary relief do warm saline rinses and apply gum paint on swollen area. An antibiotic course is recommended aftr consultation with Dental surgeon. Avoid spicy stuff. Hope this answer helps.
