hello,
you need to visit a dentist and get it checked. get an x-ray done if required. if there is a cavity, you need to get it filled. if there is infection to the root of the tooth, you need to get it treated.
Bad breath could be because of deposits on your teeth or food lodged in your teeth. Get your scaling and polishing done. Brush twice daily, maintain proper brushing technique, floss regularly and rinse after every meal. Visit dentist every 6 months.

Namaskaram,From the inference gathered you might be experiencing a mild form of gingivitis for which a visit to a dentist should be planned for further evaluation and treatment.Treatment usually consists of oral prophylaxis and oral hygiene instructions with or without the help of lasers

Hello ,
Thanks for your query first.
In your case I would highly recommend you to visit your nearest qualified dentist as soon as possible as he is the one who can determine exact status of your problem.
Don't forget to tell him your other health related problems like diabetes, high / low BP or any other medical history. It will help him to treat you well.
HAVE A GREAT AND HEALTHY LIFE AHEAD :)

Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
Without seeing how wilo we know if it is cavity or something else.
You can take a pain killer like tab. Aceclofenac 100mg twice a day after food.
Use a mouth wash to control bad breath.
Consult a dentist in person for further evaluation and management.
Best regards.
