Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain, swelling(abscess) and limited mouth opening could be because of the gum infection over the wisdom tooth or any other tooth (pericoronal infection leading to space infection).
Consult a oral physician and get a radiograph done to rule the amount of space present for the tooth to erupt if space is there for the tooth to erupt then the gum covering over the wisdom tooth can be removed.
If the space is not available then you have to get the wisdom tooth removed.
If the infection is from the other tooth, the tooth has to be treated with RCT or extraction.
you can take a course of antibiotics and analgesics like amoxicillin 500mg and metronidazole 400mg tid for 5 days (if you are not allergic).
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
