Swelling behind front teeth

[Noelle]

The gums behind my front teeth got irritated while I was eating watermelon. The crunchy melon was rubbing against my gums. I had been eating watermelon for quite a few days as a detox. I finally stopped and started blending but by that time a lump had developed, somewhat large and about the width of two teeth. I have been doing oil pulling and rinsing with salt water for about 5 days. It does seem to be a tiny bit smaller today. Just wondering what it is and when it will go away.

It may be difficult but try to provide an image.

Thanks for your response. It is a bit difficult to get an image but the good news is that the swelling has gone down. It's still a little swollen but the (sea salt) water rinse 3x a day and coconut oil pulling seems to be slow but effective.

Usually the gums will heal after the debris or source of contamination is removed.
