Hi..
Can understand your concern..

As per your complain sore throat around periods is a part of PREMENSTRUAL SYNDROME and it is related to reduced progesterone hormone level just before periods and at times it causes relaxing of the tongue muscles due to which there is more of tongue fall towards throat during the sleep and due to generation of negative pressure there is sucking up of acid from the stomach which causes sore throat..

It is not seen in all women but can be seen with some around the time of periods..

In this condition avoiding spicy food and taking an antacid before meals during and around periods can help..
Warm saline gargles can be relieving..

Swelling of gums around the wisdom tooth occurs as a result of inflammation and is known as PERICORONITIS and it can occur as a result of infection by food deposition between the gum flap and the wisdom tooth or if the flap is bitten by the opposite jaw tooth..
It can lead to pain radiating to jaw, throat,ear,eye and head..

In this condition consultation with a dentist and getting an x ray done is needed.
In case tooth is not impacted and will erupt normally removal of the gum flap by a minor surgical procedure can help..

In case of impacted tooth extraction can provide permanent relief..

Hope this information helps..
