Suggest Treatment For A Painful Bump On The Gum

Hello I just now had a soft squishy bump(that is also slightly painful when pressed on) appear on the lower left back of my gum. I had taken a drink of coke and it just appeared. It's located underneath the molar which is actually chipped on the side and a tooth next to it was knocked out not too long ago. Any idea as to what it is?

Hi..

Welcome to healthcare magic.
As you mentioned you have problem of gum swelling around impacted tooth that may be because of abcess or inflamed tissue surrounding a tooth means pericoronitis.
Consult your dentist for oral examination..
After see a oraly diagnose can occurs..
If this one is a abcess than drainage can done..
Antibiotics courses helpful ...
Start a treatment as per reason behind it...

I hope my guidance helpful to you..
Take care.
Thank you.
