It is Ok,
It is just a Gum overgrowth
and once your tooth is fully erupted it should be gone,
on other side if food gets locked inside pocket below gums it can lead to pus and swelling, so be cautious.
Next Steps
Kindly visit nearby dentist for further followup.

It can be a pericoronal flap over your wisdom tooth. Need to be examined clinically. Kindly visit a maxillofacial surgeon for the same.
