Hello,
The pain and ear pressure is due to the decayed wisdom tooth.
The swelling will subside only if the the tooth has restored or extracted.
Take complete course of antibiotics-analgesics prescribed.
Maintain oral hygiene well.
Use chlorhexidine mouthrinses to gargle.
Take rest for another 5-6 days.
Avoid anxiety and stress.
Please do visit a dentist for further reference.
Hope this helps.
