Hello:)Welcome to HCM.
You are suffering a abscess relation to the tooth which has a cavity.
I suggest you to get the treatment done as early as possible to avoid any further spread of infection.
Take antibiotics and analgesics to subside the infection.Get a x-ray done to assess the tooth and bone.
Use a warm saline gargle twice daily.
See your dentist immediately.
Regards.
