If your son's wisdom tooth has just started erupting, it may take few months to subside by its own. Some precautions needed to follow like cleaning that area properly and let him gurgle twice daily with chlorhexidine mouthwash for 15 days. Another thing you must consider is that many times the wisdom tooth doesn't erupt in normal way, either it gets tilted or partially erupt and can cause severe pain and swelling (pericoronitis). So as soon as you observe any of these symptoms, let him visit a dentist. An x ray (IOPA/ OPG) can reveal the actual condition of wisdom tooth. A treatment is planned accordingly like operculectomy or removal of the tooth. So act accordingly.

Wisdom teeth usually make their appearance between the ages of 17 and 21, though it's possible for them to push through earlier or later. Referred to as your "third molars, these four teeth begin to push through the skin like any other tooth, which can cause pain. However, wisdom teeth are much more likely to grow in at an incorrect angle ? even sideways ? causing impaction that can radiate this pain to the teeth in front of it. Kindly get it extracted as soon as possible.

Hello, First we need to find out age of your son, location of tooth, x-rays to zero on the diagnosis. Normally if its due to eruption it will subside, he just need to do warm saline rinses. However if there is infection of gums around wisdom tooth then he may need medication or even extraction of that teeth. Yo may need to visit nearest dentist for final answer or you may take video appointment. Regards!
