Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
The bubble which you are mentioning which is arising inside your mouth according to your description it looks as it is an abscess means a collection of pus and it looks that it has arised from the infection of the broken tooth in which you feel the pressure.
In that case you should visit your dentist get an x-ray done of the tooth and if it actually infected you should go for a root canal treatment as without the treatment the problem will not be solved.

Hi
Thanks for writing in.
You are having abscess in that tooth.
You need to get radiographic & clinical examination of tooth by dentist.
It would require Root Canal Treatment or extraction depending on diagnosis.
Start with course of analgesic & antibiotic .
Visit your dentist for treatment plan.
