From what your saying Looks like A dental abscess which is an infection at the base of a tooth. It means a pocket of pus has formed at the tip of a tooth root in your jaw bone. If the infection isn’t treated, it can appear as a swelling on the gum near the tooth. More serious infections spread to the face. This causes your face to swell (cellulitis). Please visit a dentist near by for proper clinical examination as soon as possible . Put a cold pack on your jaw over the sore area to help reduce pain. Take care
