I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing wisdom teeth pain. Taking Motrin (ibuprofen) can help alleviate the pain, and it is generally safe to take as long as you follow the recommended dosage and do not have any contraindications. Motrin for kids is formulated to be taken at lower dosages than the adult version, but it can still be effective for pain relief. However, I would recommend speaking with a healthcare provider or a pharmacist to confirm the appropriate dosage for your specific situation.
It's generally safe to drive and go to work while taking Motrin, but you should monitor your symptoms and any side effects. If you experience dizziness, drowsiness, or any other concerning side effects, you should not drive or operate machinery.
It's a good idea to attend your dental appointment, as your dentist can help identify the cause of your pain and recommend appropriate treatment. In the meantime, you can try applying a warm compress to the affected area, rinsing with salt water, and avoiding hard or chewy foods. If the pain persists or worsens, it's important to speak with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and treatment.

Wisdom teeth are often for the majority of humanity are 3rd set of molars that more often than not aren't needed. So long as ya know haven't lost a molar.
Id highly suggest going to a dentist and find out how compacted ur wisdom teeth are. Get the treatment done before your wisdom teeth crowd the other teeth or get infected.
As to the question why can't you just keep the wisdom teeth? Well unless you have a jaw/mouth twice the size of a normal human wisdom teeth have a tendency to get stuck 😞. As they tend to develop under the actual back bones of ones mouth. And more often than not the mouth doesn't have the space for them.
Apply an ice compress to the painful area. Always eat something, this will lesson the pain for a short time. Don't fear the eat something. If you do not go to the dentist as soon as possible, your cheek will swell.
Don't eat sugary stuff! Do not use sugar while drinking tea or coffee, this will increase the pain. Gargle with salt water. Put a clove on a sore tooth...
