if pockets are deep and swelling in gums is more then it will take more time to heal so wait and maintain cleaning use floss, interdental brushes and mouthwash for enced cleaning.
Next Steps
Kindly visit nearby dentist for further followup.

There may be a periodontal pocket formation in that region. Deep scaling and curettage needed to treat the pocket. Consult your dentist for proper evaluation and management. Meanwhile you can apply Mucopain gel on the area for some relief. Hope it helps

You may have involvement of deeper tissues in that area so the inflammation is still persisting.

Please schedule an appointment with a periodontist for proper assessment.
