Hello,
Read your query ,as you have swelling and reduced mouth opening this can be due to eruption of wisdom tooth causing reduced mouth opening it can be due to pericoronitis .
For this you should consult dentist and go for investigation IOPA xray of wisdom tooth to reveals it position, if it is impacted then go for extraction and if there is pericoronitis then go for Scaling and curetage.
Hope this will help you.
