Dental Care... ASAP: If you taste and smell infection, it is draining. This problem requires immediate attention. Please see a dentist in your town to have yourself examined and treated. You cannot treat this on your own.

See dentist: See your Dentist ASAP for proper diagnosis and treatment. Treatment differs depending on the cause. For now, at least, rinse 3-5 times a day with very warm salt water and take ibuprofen for pain and inflammation. If worsens, go to E.R. Good luck.
