Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,

I have gone through your query, as you have injury in your gums for thos you should consult dentist and go for investigations IOPA XRay to know Periodontal injury if any ,

Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day

Visit dentist and go for oral examination as early as possible

Hope this will help you.
