No: Probably a gum infection see your dentist for follow up

No: It sounds like your tooth is dyine or dead. It, therefore needs root canal work or extraction. Being a third molar sort of makes it lean toward extraction.

Dental abscess: The only way to cure a dental abscess is with dental treatment. We have now entered an era where some bacterial species are resistant to the full range of antibiotics presently available. See your dentist for re-evaluation and dental treatment. Good luck.
