My gum is swollen due to my wisdom tooth trying to come in?

Question

how can i get the swelling to come down, the wisdom tooth hasnt come in but the gum is swollen and hurts

Answer 1

You must go see a dentist as there is an infection in that area and it can get quite bad and you may get limited mouth opening, the dr will prescribe you some meds such as antibiotics and painkillers and assess if the wisdom teeth must come out
