Thanks for using Health care magic.
Read your query.
Looks like it a abscess developed due to the infection in the tooth or the gums(periodontal abscess).
For the pain you can take ibuprofen (if u are not allergic to any medication.)You will antibiotics also (amoxicillin 500mg amd metrolag 200mg).
Consult your dentist and get the treatment.
Relax and even if the swelling doesn't goes down in a day,you can carry on your presentation.
Hope this was helpful.
Thanks and warm regards.
