HI ,
This looks like a reinfection of the same tooth,visit a dentist nearby .
please dont be so scared. It will not require a general anaesthesia. No this cant be tackled with medicine alone. once the infection is reduced with antibiotics a re root canal will be planned and done.
Next Steps
Consult an endodontist / dentist near by

In your case , it appears to be re- infection . The tooth is turning dark because of decaying blood and microbes inside it . The pimple you are referring to is actually pus . Medicine won’t be the ultimate solution as it needs to be addressed properly by root canal treatment . General anaesthesia is not at all required but if you are too much scared then mild sedation can be thought of , else a proper long acting local anaesthesia would suffice .
