Hi Alice,
It seems like an infection in the gum and the surrounding tooth area, apical gingivitis probably.
It may require a surgical drainage under antibiotic cover, followed by root canal treatment and crown to be fixed in the tooth.
Please get it evaluated by a dentist as early as possible, because it might turn into an Abscess and cause more pain.
Meanwhile, take over the counter analgesics like Tylenol.
Get well soon.
