Hello sir...
It is an abscess due to infection...
X_ray (IOPA) should be done to rue out any proximal carious lesion
Abcess may be due to caries or due to plaque and calculus deposits (lateral periodontal abscess) ..
If it is due to depoaits you need to go for deep scaling and root planing...
If it is due to caries then you should go for root canal treatment
Next Steps
kindly visit dentist for furthur consultation and management
