thanks for your query, the gum swelling is because of the gum infection which is caiused by food debris. this can be treated by cleaning your teeth..but the limited mouth opening could be secondary to the gum infection around the wisdom tooth causing pus formation spreading into tissue spaces..confirm the diagnosis by taking radiograph of that tooth...take a course of antibiotics and do saline gargling..maintain oral hygiene... i hope my answer will help you..take care..
