Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
You have mentioned that your wisdom tooth is erupting, it is painful also, dont worry firstly use mouthwash chlorhexidine to maintain proper oral hygiene as there is swelling in gums and pericoronal flap will be present do warm saline gargle 3-4 times in day and if it is more painful then take Tablet Flexon MR twice daily , and go to dental surgeon and get investigations done is if is impacted then get it extracted.
Hope this will help you.
