Suggest Remedy For Sore Gum

i have developed a very sore gum,on my left lower jaw on the place where my wisdom tooth is to come.I m 20 and never had this much swelling before.There have been days when i developed swelling there but it was not too painful.But this time it is too much and i cant eat anything,even swallowing pains and the left side o my throat has started to pain now.I smoked weed the previous night an when i woke up i had this sore gum.Are these two things related?How can i get well asap?

Thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. the soreness in the gums could be because of the pericoronitis or pericoronal abscess secondary to infection of the gums around the wisdom tooth. consult your oral physician and get radiograph done. if the space is sufficient for the tooth to erupt then we can remove the flap around the tooth. if space is not there for the tooth to erupt then you have to get it removed. you can take a course of antibiotics. do saline gargling. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
