Thanks for your query, i have gone through your query.
The pain and swelling and limited mouth opening could be because of infection from the wisdom tooth. consult a oral physician and get a radiograph done to rule out the infection. if the wisdom tooth is infected then get it removed. mean while take a course of antibiotic like penicillins and metronidazole(if you are not allergic and sensitive). do saline gargling. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
