Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concern. As per your complaint it seems that you have inflamed gum flap over the wisdom tooth leading to Peritonitis and inflammation can occur either due to infection or due to traumatic injury to the gum over the wisdom tooth. You should consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated, and a thorough clinical evaluation can help in diagnosis, and you can also be advised to get an x-ray of the area done. In case of peritonitis you will be advised to take antibiotics like Augmenting, anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen, do warm saline gargles and take a soft diet. In case if the gum flap keep offending again, and again you can get the flap removed under local anaesthesiaHope this information helps. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor. . </s>
