Periodontal gum pocket
Pericoronitis in lower wisdom tooth has resulted in a tooth cavity and a gum pocket is created with gum inflammation.
Tooth cavity is filled and healed, but gum pocket and inflammation still exists.
Trying to avoid visting a clinic.

My first advice will be to visit nearest dentist. but if you refrain from it, you can try using interdental brush to clean the gingival area.
