Brief Answer:
Swelling indicates infection,use clove oil pellet

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for writing in.

In my opinion best option is extraction of wisdom teeth since they are broken & wisdom teeth are vestigeal & of not much use. You shouldn't be worried about visiting a dentist. They won't harm you. Since you have anxiety problem, its best to control anxiety & get it extracted as early as possible.

Meanwhile best home remedy is apply clove oil pellet in that tooth or take pain killer like tylenol pain relief for pain. Also do warm saline rinses 3-4 times a day.

Swelling & redness are main signs of infection.Hence whenever you have these symptoms consult dentist for further treatment plan.

Hope I answered your query

Wishing you good health
