See a doctor: You may have to have your wisdom teeth removed. You should see a dentist or oral surgeon to have this evaluated. In the meantime you should take otc pain medications like Ibuprofen to alleviate the pain.

See a dentist first: See a dentist to possibly have the tooth removed. Pain from a wisdom tooth can radiate to the ear.

Probably teething: It depends where the areas in the mouth are. From the description it looks like teething. You can have a pediatric dentist take a look to make sure that everything is fine.
