<s>[INST] I have a bad tooth for about a year... had it drilled last year. Then six months ago I had to go in to get some antibiotics because it hurt so bad. I needed a route canal. But don t have money yet. So now... a week ago broke off another piece of it... yesterday morning I thought it was a pimple on my jaw right next to my ear canal on the outside... I squeezed it... and its been swelling ever since. I had bactrum so I m taking that. Its not painful unless I touch it. Its about the size of a quarter, and I haven t been feeling well. Just started yesterday. Am I gonna die??? Ive been taking bactrum and ibuprofin. I figured that was all they were gonna do anyway. [/INST] hello there , According to your history i can suspect your infected tooth that was left without treating has gone worse and  you have developed a periodontal abscess due to spread of infection to the underlying tissues. Pimple you can notice is nothing but the abscess draining in the oral cavity that needs to be drained and compressed in position followed by a course of antibiotic and analgesic will subside the symptoms. once the abscess is drained the infected tooth can be treated by root canal procedure to devitalise it permanently . get an x ray done the affected area and approach a dentist for the treatment. i hope this helps, take care. </s>
