I'm really having a hard time with my wisdom teeth coming in since there's no space for them. It's tearing my skin in the mouth and I've also been dealing with some painful canker sores right next to that tooth for the past few days. My right jaw is a bit swollen, and the pain is just unbearable. I feel feverish with a mild headache. What should I do to get some relief?

It sounds like you're experiencing a painful situation with your wisdom teeth, possibly leading to infection or irritation. I recommend rinsing your mouth with warm saltwater to soothe the pain, using over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen, and applying a topical ointment for the canker sores. However, given the swelling, fever, and persistent pain, it's important to see a dentist or oral surgeon as soon as possible to assess if theres an infection or need for extraction.

my jaw has been swollen for the past 4 months and it keeps getting worse day by day is surgery the only option or are there other treatments that could help
Swollen jaw pain is often treatable without surgery. If the swelling is caused by a dental problem (like an abscess or periodontal disease), antibiotics or dental procedures (root canal, extraction, etc.) might be needed. If it's due to TMJ (temporomandibular joint) issues, treatments like physical therapy, medication, or a night guard can help. If the swelling is caused by a tumor or cancer, surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy might be necessary. It's crucial to see a doctor or dentist to determine the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment.
