Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The tooth pain, swelling over the lip and palate can be because of the tooth infection. The tooth infection has resulted in formation of the pus that has spread to involve the soft tissues(cellulitis).
Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and metronidazole(if you are not allergic). You need to get a radiograph of the tooth to confirm the diagnosis and once the diagnosis is confirmed, it can be treated accordingly.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
