See an oral surgeon: If a wisdom tooth is erupting into the oral cavity and causing pain, i recommend you see a board-certified oral, maxillofacial surgeon for evaluation and likely tooth-removal.

Get examined: Until you can be seen by a dentist or oral surgeon, you can try nsaids, clean the area very well. A lot of pain could be an infection--called a pericoronitis--if the tooth is partially erupted. May be decay to the nerve if it is hard to clean. Seek professional care !
