Hello
Welcome to HCM
I read your query for your cavity ie hole you should get restoration done again as soon as possible n lump near gum which on pressing hurts n give some pus like material indicate pus formation so its better you should get your iopa xray done to know periapical abscess formation and get treated according to that. Preferred treatment will be apicetomy with RCT .
Thank you
