Hello,
Thanks for your query.
From description it seems you have infection. your infected tooth has gone worse and you have developed a periodontal abscess due to spread of infection to the underlying tissues. All you are experiencing because of infection.
The lump or swelling you can notice under the mandible is nothing but the abscess cavity and it drains the pus in the oral cavity.
This type of periodontal abscess needs to be drained and compressed in position and then followed by a course of antibiotic and analgesic will subside the symptoms of pain and swelling.
tooth can be extracted.
get an x ray done the affected area and approach a dentist for the treatment.
meantime you can start with antibiotic augmentin 625mg with analgesics two times daily, this helps in subsiding the swelling and pain.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
