Ok: You're teething. Can't quantify how much it hurts or if OTC pain meds are helping manage the pain or if you need the tooth extracted. Call a local dentist for an appointment if the problem persists.

See a dentist: When wisdom teeth cause problems or earache 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.

Unusual: Should not be wiggly. May hurt, that's why babies cry when they are teething. Best advice, see a Wisdom Tooth Specialist, an Oral Surgeon.
