Hello!Welcome to HCM.

You don't need to be worried about it.This will subside once the tooth erupts.

Use a sterilizes cotton/gauze to clean the area. Maintain a proper oral hygiene.
Use a mild mouthwash to gargle. You can dilute it with water as it is supplied as a concentrated solution.

Regards.
