Infection: You probably have an abscessed tooth or infected gum tissue. The lump is probably the pus trying to find an exit. The looseness probably means some bone loss. Please get to your Dentist immediately while the tooth can still be saved.

Dental infection : Dental infection will not resolve on its own with home care. The most common type of the dental infection is a tooth or combination of both tooth-gum infection. In order to get appropriate treatment it is important to know the underlying cause for this infection. Rec.: see your dentist for evaluation, x-rays and treatment.

Possible abscess: Sounds like a possible abscess, if so - would need a root canal. Especially if there is a history of deep decay, multiple fillings in that tooth, or a history of trauma.

See dentist: as soon as possible for proper diagnosis and treatment. Abscessed tooth infections can spread and cause more serious health issues.
