Hi,
The condition you are suffering from is known as pericoronitis. There is infection around your wisdom tooth. The best possible way is to get it removed as early as possible. Otherwise the problem will recur time and again.

Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic Forum
If pus is still pouring out in that case you need to change the antibiotics and aw well get an x-ray of the mandible done. You can also do gargles with povidone iodine mouth gargles to reduce the bacterial load. Please do consult a good dentist.
Take care
