No, it sounds like it's draining -which is a positive sign.
Keep rinsing with hot salt water overnight, 1tsp salt dissolved in "cup of tea temperature" water. Hold over affected area as long as possible & try to simultaneously massage the affected outside area of your face.
Ring your dentist at 9 in the morning.
