Hello,
I understand that you are having severe pain with the wisdom tooth. Pain relief pills may help you temporarily, but do not address the source of the pain. Your dentist should determine if you need a prescription for pain relief and if an infection occurs that requires an antibiotic.
If you have no room for the wisdom tooth, it will not be able to function. It has already caused a painful situation and from the information that you provide sounds like it should be removed. I cannot tell, without more information, if it is covered by tissue or bone which can be more difficult to remove. You can visit an oral surgeon for anther opinion.
I hope this answers your questions and that you feel better soon. I am available for additional questions.
