Possibilities: Many come to mind. Could be infected tooth/teeth, gum infection, virus, oral bacterial infection, sinus infection, Gerd, etc. Start with your Dentist. If dental/oral cause ruled out,nthen next step is to see your Physician. Pain and swelling should not be ignored.

28 yr old female, experiencing swollen gum behind lower back molar- left side. Hurts mostly when touched. Never had bottom wisdom teeth, only the 2 top ones came in my early 20s. Could this be a wisdom tooth erupting? Swelling is in that area.
