Hi..
Thanks for the query..

It looks like due to continuous irritation and infection there is formation of an abscess and due to this there is discharge of nasty tasting pus and pain with a lump..
So my suggestion to you is to consult an Oral Surgeon and get evaluated and if needed he can do an incision and drainage and drain of the pus and put an antiseptic dressing if needed and along with it advise you oral antibiotics, anti inflammatory painkillers and serratiopeptidases.
You can also stop wearing the denture till it heal completely..
Also continue Magic Mouthwash to reduce infection..
Do warm saline gargles..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
