Hello,
Read your query as you have gingival recession and pus formation in gum this is due to periodontal problem dont worry I will suggest you to consult periodontist and go for oral prophylaxis and if it doesnt help then discuss with your dentist and go for gingival surgery that will help you , in meantime maintain proper oral hygiene do warm saline gargle .
Hope this will help you.
