Hello Welcome to Chat Doctor I went through your history & it suggests that you are suffering from Peritonitis i.e. inflammation of periodontal tissue before eruption of third molar. It occurs due to food lodgment & bacterial accumulation in that area. Its Symptoms are:- -pain -swelling -difficulty in mouth opening -fever -malaise -regional lymphadenopathy Get an IOP AR done & consult your dentist. If flap is interrupting in its path then go for flap removal i.e. operculumectomy. Otherwise, if sufficient space is not available then go for extraction since it is vestigial & has no role in mastication. For temporarily relief do warm saline rinses 3-4 times a day. Start with Tab Amclaid-625 twice a day along with Tab Aerosol -SP thrice a day for 5 days. In Case of gastric problem take rabeprazole-40 mg once daily. Your herbal pills won't be of much use. Do Betadine gargles twice a day.  Take Care Regards Chat Doctor.
