Hi.
Looks like a gum abscess(collection of pus in the gums)
It could be that food gets stuck repeatedly in that area, which led to this. Or the tooth nearby is the offender
An xray would help a lot.
Next Steps
You need to get the pus drained out and start with antibiotics after that. Without the pus out, antibiotics will not help
Health Tips
Don't delay treatment!
