Hi
With your query,as such third molars usually erupts at the age between 17-21 years so in regards to your question i would suggest you to take an visit your dentist and take an x-ray for more information or status of the wisdom tooth/ third molar.Coming to the signs and symptoms when a wisdom tooth erupts yes one can see slight bulging/swelling of gingiva that is overlying the tooth with inflammation.Some may get even severe pain during its eruption ofcourse that area will be tender and causes uneasiness while eating and swalloing if lymph nodes are also enlarged.Nothing to worry about it first of all please visit you dentist ti rule out that the problem what you have is 'coz of impacted tooth or any other pathology and then accordingly proceed with the treatment.
