Answers:
ouchh! it does hurt!! 48 Hours. Gargle frequently with salty lukewarm water as it really helps get rid of the infection and promotes healing. As somebody previously mentioned it is really important to keep the area clean, although it will hurt it should help to heal this up even quicker. it sounds like you have a problem called pericorrinitus, it is caused a flap of skin around where the wisdom tooth is erupting, it gathers up all the nasty bacterias under the flap leading to in-fection. If the problems persists you will need to return to your dentists.

Antibiotics usually start working within a couple of days. Make sure you take the full course though or else it won't completely clear the infection.

Hope you feel better soon.

It will takes approximately 48 hours to give you relief
