What Causes Lump On Gums After Taking Azythromicin?

I needed a root canal, but have not yet gotten one and now i have a lump on my gums with a white head on the tip of it and this lump developed after me taking the antibiotic azythromicin and a dental paste for my pain i had from one canker sore turning into 3. Two on the bottom and one really big one on the top and all of this is occurring on the right side of my mouth. I also have bad congestion in my chest almost like fluid is coming out of my ears into my mouth and lungs and I get alot of sounds like squeaking and sucking coming from my ears randomly my jaw bone looks alot bigger than on the opposite side of my face. I also get flare ups of inflammation swelling, mainly et around the cheekbone, inside corner of my right eye and i can feel tightening behind my sinuses but inside of my face. I have really bad phlegm/ mucus in my nose/ nasal passages its really thick almost always clear colored with a rubber like consistency I clear my throat just to get my lungs to expand
