We need an X-ray to evaluate ur current tooth status..whether it can be saved or not..
Your teeth is infected ..it can be saved by doing root canal treatment followed by crown..if not go for extraction followed implants or bridges

There is no such thing as tooth cancer.
The maximum that you can have is periapical infection which can be treated if the tooth is in restorable condition

you should start with antibiotic coverage along with pain killer and visit your nearby dentist for early treatment
Health Tips
start with oral hygiene maintenance and warm saline rinses
