Hi..you need a round of scaling with Medication from dentist to reduce swelling and pus. Meantime apply Hexigel on lesion four to six times daily on affected gums.

It looks like a periodontal abscess but an x-ray would confirm the diagnosis..kindly visit a dentist..if it is in relation to a tooth having a cavity then rct required but If it is only a periodontal abscess then deep scaling and curettage with antibiotic course would treat it..take care
