What Causes Gum Swelling With Pus Discharges?

I had my wisdom teeth removed in the beginning of this month and the bottom teeth were infected. After removal they healed alarmingly fast and everything was fine but this morning I woke up with the bottom left gum swollen so large you can see it on the outside of my face and neck and there is reddish yellow liquid coming out. I also feel faintly sick, a lesser degree of how I felt when my wisdom teeth were impacted. What's wrong with me?
