Hello lybrate-user you can do warm saline rinse in the night for 3 days. Also apply mucopain gel on the area for a week.

You can start using a topical local anesthetic gel for temporary relief and a steroid based ointment twice a day for atleast 15 days. Hope that relieves your issues for a while. If this issue does not get solved after 15-20 days, you have to go personally to a dentist and he might advise you to go for an xray of your whole mouth region in case he sees there is some serious issues to be addressed.
