thanks for your question,
the features you are presenting looks like infection of the tooth leading to pus formation which has opened into the roof or floor of the mouth...consult a dental surgeon to rule out any associated decayed tooth.....you need to undergo some radiographic investigations to rule out other pathologies cyst or salivary gland disorders....
wish you speedy recovery....
