Hello ,

Thanks for consulting Hcm

Read your query as you have swellig in gums due to infected 2nd molar and partially erupted wisdom tooth this condition is said as pericoronitis . For this I will suggest you to consult oral surgeon for examination of oral cavity and iopa x ray of wisdom tooth . If it is impacted then go for extraction and treatment of 2nd molar .
Inmeantime do warm saline rinses 2 - 3 times a day , do betadine rinses that will give you relief in pain . Consult oral surgeon and go for curretage of gum around wisdom tooth .

Hope this will help you .
