Infected tooth: The cause of your symptoms appears to be that infected tooth. You must go see an oral surgeon and have that tooth extracted.

Classic: Classic symptoms of an infected wisdom tooth. It may be infection of the tooth itself, and/or the surrounding tissues. This will not self correct, and may in fact worsen. Nor is there anything on the pharmacy's shelves that will cure. Please see a wisdom tooth expert, an Oral Surgeon, for diagnosis and appropriate treatment). Until you do, Ibuprofen as per package directions.
