In this picture there is a mild pocket like depression inside the gum near last molar teeth. But now it is normal. Do saline water gargle to relive the irritation and inflammation if present. And because it is the time of your wisdome tooth eruption there will be chances of irritation. And another cause will be improper brushing on last tooth region. Brush your last tooth properly and use dental floss to clean the edge portion of the molar which touching the gums. Avoid chewing on that side for 5days to avoid food lodgement inside the gums, it will aggravate the irritation.
Next Steps
Proper brushing using soft or medium tooth brush. Don't do harsh brushing. Saline water gargle for 1 week. Review after 1 week. If not subsiding, consult a dentist. And in some cases upper tooth may bite on lower gums. It may be another reason for this. Just check that also.

It looks like ter is not enough space for the wisdom tooth to fully erupt. After your pain subsides with warm gargle and mild antibiotics we can think of laser gingivectomy to remove little area of your gum region to prevent the food getting stuck ter and causing further issues
