Tooth abscess: likely this is an abscessed tooth and seeking medical attention is your best option for antibiotics. another option is you have an abscess/infection and a swollen lymph node from that infection.

Tooth pain: Sounds like an abcessed tooth. See a dentist ASAP and have the tooth treated.

Infection: Probably abscessed tooth with drainage under chin or lymph node involvement. Antibiotics may limit spread of infection for as long as you take them, but will not cure the infection. You will need either root canal/crown or extraction/implant/crown. Please contact your Dentist NOW before spread of infection through circulatory system adversely affects other organ systems.
