Hello! Thank you for sharing your concern.
The gland you are referring to under your back teeth is a swollen lymphnode. It is swollen in most of the dental infections.
You must take the antibiotics prescribed by your dentist.
This swelling must reduce in a week time.
This has nothing to do with a tuberculous infection.
Hope this helps.
