Hello and welcomeAccording to the history given by you, it looks like a periodontal infection which occurs due to incompletely erupted wisdom tooth, the reason of bump and swelling is due to the pus around the erupted tooth. Right now you better start with Amoxicillin 500\u00a0mg three times a day, metronidazole 400 mg three times a day and broken 400 mg three times a day and Betadine gargles, for the permanent cure you have to visit your dentist as this tooth may not erupt due to inadequate space, and you have to get it removed after one check IOWA X-Ray
