You might be suffering from infection in and around your wisdom teeth which in medical terms is called Pericoronitis. Temporary pain relief can be obtained by warm saline rinses thrice or four times in a day but you will need to show yourself to a Dentist for permament solution. Permanent solution is Extraction of wisdom teeth.
