Are these signs of pericoronitis?; mild swelling near wisdom tooth, not too tender, no fever, pain, little redness, but it's reduced in size?

It is pericoronitis: If you notice the signs and symptoms of pericoronitis, you should see your dentist sooner rather than later to avoid serious complications.
