Unknown . . . : I recommend you see a physician or an oral surgeon right away. Without knowing any other details of your life and health history, any guess i could make would be misleading and unfair to you. This could be serious . . . Please see someone soon!

See a Doctor: Your description is vague. Better to be seen by a dentist for a comprehensive exam and diagnosis.
