Can't IM you. Let's try the x-ray this way. As you'll see, the area around the tooth is dark and is pretty much in the shape as where the swelling and discharge is coming from.

Your description is very complete..... sounds to me like you have an infected molar and the infection may have spread to your sinus. Anytime you get a fistula near a tooth, it is indicative of an abscessed tooth. Eventually the swelling doesn't go down and the area becomes quite uncomfortable. Palatal swelling from an infected sinus is not uncommon.

If you could post an xray here or pm me.... I would be happy to look at it.
