Yes it is better to visit your nearby dentist to look for the cause of your swelling, the tablets which have been given to you are just the pain killers and then may give you temporary relief alone. Depending upon the severity of infection your dentist will give you additional tablets that is antibiotics for the symptoms to subside .your dentist is the one who can look for the location, angulation of your wisdom teeth and evaluate space available for your wisdom teeth to come out normally .if the space for it to come out is very low or if your wisdom teeth is present in an abnormal position hitting your adjacent teeth he or she may recommend you to get the teeth out.

Hello lybrate-user, since pain and swelling are making it difficult to eat, it is advisable to see a dentist. The medicines that you have mentioned will take care of the pain and swelling to an extent, but we need to confirm that the tooth isn't infected in which case, additional antibiotics may have to be prescribed. Moreover if the tooth is partially impacted (stuck in bone), disimpaction maybe indicated.
