What Is The Treatment For A Bump On The Gum?

I had a tooth removed, but the root was left in, this caused I believe 'draining sinuses'. I have since had the root removed but over the last week I have had a bump appear on my gum & some pain/irritation. Is this the draing sinuses again & what is the cure? Many thanks.
