Brief Answer:
Seems like Pericoronitis..

Detailed Answer:
Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

As per your complain it seems that you have inflamed gum flap around the wisdom tooth that is leading to pain and swelling..

It occurs due to infection occuring between gum flap and the tooth due to food debris accumulation..

Aa you have ran out of antibiotics you need to consult a Dentist and get evaluated first so that each condition of the infection is checked and then only you should get the prescription refilled...

As of now you can do warm saline gargle, take anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen and do cool compresses over the cheek .

Please write back for further queries..
