Kindly take all medicines only under supervision of a qualified doctor.Usually pain medicines work but very slowly. Warm salt water gargle every 6 hours also helps. But finally the best way is to get them removed if the space is less.

You can take Tab Ultracet when it hurts badly.Consult a dentist to check weather the orientation of emerging teeth is favourable or not or if there is inflammation of the gums which might be partially covering the crown of the erupting teeth((pericoronitis). Also,if there is not enough space in your jaw bone to accommodate the wisdom teeth,you may require extraction of teeth.
Next Steps
Manage pain with this analgesic and see a dentist.The sooner the better.
