Why Do I Have Pain Around My Emerging Wisdom Tooth And Sore Throat?
One of my wisdom teeth is partially sticking out and is kind of irritated. That was the first syptom. My throat stated getting sore and I had fever. I have had fever for 4 days now and my throat is hurting much worse. Now I have pain in my gums around the wisdom tooth and in a couple of other small spots. Today I noticed to small white sores on my tongue. I can't get in to see my dentist for about 2 weeks. He did prescribe me pinicilin for now. I have been on that for 2 days and it isn't getting any better.

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as you have eruting wisdom tooth yes it is painful sometime not to worry , you do warm saline gargle two - three times a day
You can apply anaesthesic ointment Mucopain or Dologel on tongue twice daily you will get releif.
Take one painkiller Paracetamol 500mg twice daily for one week .
Consult dentist and go for currettage .
Hope this will help you.
