It is a typical abscess originating from root end of a tooth .RCT or extraction are the treatment for this.

Hello sir kindly get an IOPA or the x-ray done of the desired tooth. If the infection has not spread to the surrounding structures and can can be cured by antibiotics and root canal then u can go for it or else something else has to be planned.
