Swollen upper gum, Just under my left nostril

This disease started four years ago, it periodically shows up 2-3 times a year and lasts for a week my gum below my left nostril begin to swell with a itchy feel and slowly disfigures the left side of my face due to the swelling after 3 days it of using antibiotics and it has reached its full shape it bursts and mucus comes out... Please do anyone have an idea WHAT CAUSES THIS ?? Or ANY TREATMENT THAT WILL PREVENT THIS FOR LIFE??

Make it work. No infection wether in your mouth or anywhere in your body should be left untreated. If this was something happening to your finger you would be concerned. No difference. Plenty of third party payer option out there.  Who keep writing you the rX for the antibiotic they are not doing you a favor.
