Suggest Treatment For Pain And Soreness In Neck

I have both of my wisdom teeth coming in at the same time on the right side of my mouth. Followed by strain to the right side of my neck (it's stiff and sore) Pain level scale from 1-10, I would say a 7. It hurts to swallow liquids in general as well. What over the counter medication should I take? Online is says to mix salt with water and rinse. Along with 20 mins. of ice pack and over the counter ibuprofen.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain and soreness in the neck could be because of the strain to the neck. Swallowing difficulty and pain in the tooth could be because of the infection in the gums over the wisdom tooth.
Consult a oral physician and get a radiograph done to rule the amount of space present for the tooth to erupt if space is there for the tooth to erupt then the gum covering over the wisdom tooth can be removed.
If the space is not available then you have to get the wisdom tooth removed.
Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500mg and metronidazole 400mg tid for 5 days (if you are not allergic) along with the ibuprofen.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
