It’s either a sinus tract which has not ungegone root canal therapy or a mucosal infection. That is gum infection. Sinus tract means it’s a exit point from a started source of infection. To rule that out we need to confirm with a test. If not mucosal medications will be sufficient. Also check for gum status that is ur periodontal status. Just to make sure.
