See doctor: You need to see your family doctor to see about your throats, chect for strep, then you also need to see oral surgeon for your wisdom teeth that may need to be on antibiotics prior to get removed.

See your dentist: In the meanwhile rinse and gargle with salt water. One half teaspoon of salt in a half glass of warm, not hot, water.

See a dentist ASAP: When wisdom teeth cause problems, they need to come out. If you are experiencing pain, swollen gums, lymph nodes and it does not go away or if you find it difficult to open your mouth, you should see a dentist for evaluation, x-ray and wisdom teeth removal.
