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. Oral & maxillofacial surgeon will need more investigations (full mouth x-ray) with clinical examination to decide upon treatment. Adv. Medication, cleaning, root canal treatment or surgical removal procedures for the gum mucosa above the tooth or the tooth itself. Until then apply clove oil. Rinse frequently with mouth wash.

Dear tarika, warm saline gargle 3 or 4 times a day after meal is enough, it's anti bacterial in action. If the swelling is causing pain or fever it's better to visit a dentist first.
