I'm experiencing low level pain on the gum around my wisdom tooth. The gum is swelled, has some grey color extra fat kind of thing. It's really hard for me now to not notice it because I can't chew foods properly. I have been suffering from this from past 4 days. Is it a issue to worry?

Most likely your wisdom tooth isn't coming out properly. So get it checked and get the tooth removed.

No there is nothing to worry about This condition is called pericoronitis. This happen when your wisdom tooth erupted. Take some analgesic nd do warm saline rinses if issue not resolved with in the week get a iopa-xray done to know the status of your wisdom tooth.
