Seek professional help immediately. If the root cause of pus and infection is decay it needs to be cleaned and treated soon. Untreated infections can spread to surrounding gums. You might need a root canal treatment or extraction of the tooth(in case of extensive bone loss due to infection)

Your description seems indicative of gum infection and poor periodontal health. Please consult a dentist for the appropriate diagnosis to be delineated. The right treatment can be suggested thereafter. Avoiding this treatment can lead to Irreversible damage to the gums in the bone and can even make the teeth mobile.
