Without Proper history and photographs it's difficult to diagnose.
You can take painkillers but they will give you temporary relief only
Warm saline water rinses two to three times a day
If their is swelling visible from outside your mouth then apply ice pack from outside mouth.
X ray will be required for proper diagnosis.
It's better to consult doctor through online or offline mode.

It is possibly pericoronitis but until I see photograph of the problematic area or you video consult online it's difficult to be sure.
Until then you can start lukewarm salt water rinse thrice daily and medicated mouthwash rinse twice daily.
Apply hexigel over that area, keep it for 5-10 mins and then rinse. Do not swallow the ointment.
Next Steps
For medicine please consult online or visit dentist

Hi sir
Back if your teeth
The region is not very specific
But assuming mucosa behind the teeth;
Possibilites are
Pericoronitis
Periodontitis
Gingivitis no need to worry these are conditions relating to inflammation of gums,and bone at that area so
U can use a normal mouthwash and salt water gargles and keep that area as clean as possible
But please do visit a clinic if possible or u can send a pic or video we can help you
Thank you
