Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
The type of condition you are mentioning, it looks that you are having pericoronitis, in this when there is not much space is present in the mouth, the wisdom tooth cause pain and swelling while erupting.
You should visit a good dentist as he will start with antibiotics and painkillers, and if needed surgical exposure of the tooth.
Hope it will help you.
