Most likely: One of the main symptoms of wisdom tooth problem is when they try to come in and cause your gums on top of them to swell. You tend to bite on this when you eat and make it worse. You need to see an oral ; maxillofacial surgeon for q proper diagnosis and treatment.

Probably, but: Probably. But other things, some not good, can cause similar symptoms. Best advice is to see an oral surgeon for exam/recommendations.
