Question 1

is it possible to keep my cracked-tooth intact with my gum without removing or doing root canal by taking sincere care?

Crack will get worse: No, your cracked tooth can only get worse not better. If you have symptoms your choices are a crown, crown/root canal, or removal. The recommended treatment depends on how severe the crack is.

Question 3

swollen submandibular gland one side. it is directly below a rotted molar and a very recently repaired cracked tooth ( needed a root canal but just filled it on the fly) could there be a connection with the teeth and this particular gland?

Toothache remedies: There is nothing you can do except get to a dentist for help ASAP.  Until you see your dentist  you can take temporary pain relievers. Alternate NSAID (Advil)  with Tylenol (acetaminophen) for moderate to severe pain. Do not place an aspirin in the painful area on the gum. See a dentist ASAP.
