Abscessed tooth: May very well be a tooth infection, an abscessed tooth. The knot you feel is where the infection is centered. You need immediate emergency treatment. This can't be fixed with observation, pills, or other peripherals. Please, you need to see a Dentist before the infection spreads to other organ systems. Hands-on Treatment is required.
