Wisdom tooth pain?

A wisdom tooth on the bottom of my mouth has fully erupted and looks decently aligned with the rest of my teeth. It is somewhat translucent. I've not had major pain with it until the last few days which have been very difficult. The entire gum area is sore, and even one side of my tongue is quite sore. Does this sound like an infection? I had chewed gum earlier this week, which I never do. I'm reticent to go to a dentist immediately as I don't have dental insurance, but will probably have it by October of this year.

pericorinitis, infection of the gums surrounding the wisdom tooth. Take some antibiotics & pain killers along wit a muscular relaxent. Gargle with warm salt water regulerly. It will go after few days. If it comes again, get it removed.
