My wisdom tooth is coming out and it is a bit painful. Please advise.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

First of all, regarding the swelling, which you assume to be a cyst could be a lymphadenopathy (swollen lymph node). It shows that there is some inflammation or infection process going on. Regarding the wisdom tooth, if it has space and is in a correct position, it will come out or chances are there for it to be impacted. An OPG will be needed to assess that. For now, go and consult your dentist for examination as the pain could be due to pericoronitis (inflammation of the gums covering the erupting tooth). Do lukewarm water salt gargling. I suggest taking Aceclofenac 100 mg after food morning and night, in case you have severe pain; otherwise, no need. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking the medicine with their consent. If you have acidity, I suggest Pantoprazole 40 mg once daily half an hour before food. For the inflammation/infection, you can take capsule Amoxicillin morning, noon and night after food for five days. But, these are symptomatic treatment. Kindly meet your dentist for the examination and treatment plan. If you have decreased mouth opening, then also, do not worry, these medicines will help relieve it. Consult your dentist as soon as possible.
