Hello, Thank you for consulting with HCM.
Yes it looks like your tooth was infected a few days back and now there is abscess in the apex of the tooth, it is not necessary that you have to go for removal of the tooth, you can go for root canal treatment of the tooth as well, as it can also reduce the infection and you can start with the treatment before the surgery for tumor.
Hope it will help you.
