I'm : I'm not sure what your question is, since you did not ask one. All you did was list your symptoms. What i can tell you is that you have a severe infection secondary to a tooth which is probably non vital. This needs to be treated by a dentist to control the infection, and then restore or extract the tooth. The swelling under your tongue is very serious, since it can quickly expand into the soft tissues, resulting in your tongue being pushed back and blocking your airway. Your problem can become life threatening in a very, very short period of time. You need to see a dentist asap (today) to be evaluated, or go to your local emergercy room. Please do not wait.

Once : Once a dental infection leaves the confines of the jaw and extends into the soft tissues, especially in the back of the mouth, floor of mouth, or under the jaw, it can progress quickly into a life-threatening emergency. Immediate care is indicated to remove the source of the infection, such as a root canal or extraction, and to manage the abscess with antibiotics and possibly surgical drainage. Do not delay in seeking care.
