Hi,

A bubble over the gum under a tooth can be due to either tooth infection causing a dental abscess or can be a gum boil due to deep gum infection. So my suggestion is to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated, a clinical examination and an X-ray can be done to rule out the exact cause of the lump.

In case if there is tooth decay then root canal treatment can be done followed by a course of antibiotics and painkillers. In case of gum abscess deep cleaning of the localized area of gum can be done. For now do warm saline gargles and antiseptic mouthwash gargles.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora,
