Inflamed mucosa, nothing to worry..

Detailed Answer:
Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per the description of symptoms and the image attached, the red area that is visible over the gum behind your tooth seems to be inflamed gum mucosa that is forming an ulcer..
It is nothing serious and will resolve soon..
I would like to know a few details before I guide you towards treatment..

1.Has your wisdom tooth erupted?
2.Did you bite anything hard?

If possible please send a picture by clicking it from a little far for better evaluation..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora..
