Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

This could be an infection.
Without an oppurtunity to examine you it is difficult to give any diagnosis.
Visit a Dentist and get a thorough checkup done.
At home take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses.

Take care!

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.

The type of swelling you are mentioning with occward taste, it looks that it is an abscess, as it arises from an infected tooth when the infection of the tooth spread apically.

You have to consult your dentist as he will take an x - ray of the swelling, which will show the infection and treated accordingly.
Hope it will help you.
Regards
