Hello
You might be using some strong mouthwashes, or you might be having some reaction to it.

Use just warm saline gargling which is more than enough for a healthy gum line.
If there is much redness near the molar just see if there is food lodgement at the site and use a floss or do cleaning of teeth by a dentist.
thank you.
