Needs professional: As you said, the tooth needs to be removed. You need to see an oral and maxillofacial surgeon yesterday rather than tomorrow. Meds won't cut it, you need the help of a professional.

No,: If you have an infection, it's not a good idea to take cortisone. Get it out asap and then you will feel better. Speak to the surgeon who is scheduled to take out your tooth for advice.

No prednisone: Do not take Prednisone for an infection. Prednisone impedes your bodies immune response and would allow the infection to run rampant. You need to see and oral surgeon to have the impacted third molar removed. Many oral surgeons can arrange to see you same day or within 24 hours. Do not wait. Call now!
