Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
After reading your symptoms, I feel that you have developed an abscess due to infection in either your tooth or your gum. The liquid which you feel is leaking consists of pus cells and is infected. It may also be foul smelling.
I would recommend you to visit your dentist for examination. He may take an X-ray to determine the source of your infection.
If the tooth is involved then you will have to undergo root canal treatment. However, if the infection is due to gum problem then a thorough clean up along with abscess drainage will be required.
Meanwhile, it would be advisable to stop smoking as it hampers healing in the oral cavity.
Hope this answers your query. If you have any more questions, I’ll be happy to help.
Regards
