Your problem seems to be related to the wisdom tooth, you should visit a dentist and get yourself evaluated properly and if needed to extract the wisdom tooth then get the tooth removed.

hello,
You can do warm salt water rinses as a home remedy, but this will give only temporary relief from pain. you need to visit a dentist and get it checked. if required, get an x-ray done. it could be due to eruption of wisdom tooth. the best treatment for wisdom tooth is to get it removed.
