Should a patient be concerned about sepsis if he has severe wisdom teeth infection, jaw pain, and swollen lymph nodes?

Hello doctor,

My wisdom teeth are growing horizontally. I got an X-ray a year ago. One of my teeth has broken, and my gums are swollen and painful. I have jaw pain and a swollen lymph node on the same side. I have pain while swallowing food. I think I have a wisdom tooth infection, and I am worried about sepsis. All these developments have occurred over three days. Please help.
